So I thought I'd share a bit about what I've been up to as far as our newest DIY project. I posted one time on Facebook asking friends to donate their old jeans to me for a new project, and within one weeks time, this is what I got! This is the back of my car with the seats taken up, and the car is completely FULL of jeans and huge denim swatches. I really have to thank one friend in particular, whose company had a bunch of extra fabric samples and ALL denim. Most of these bags are from him =). I've also had great contributions from other friends and fans, so all in all, a TON of jeans. I was worried about not having enough, and now I'm thinking that anything that I need to make for the house and the family for the next 4 years will probably have to be denim...ack!
So after sorting through a bag of the swatches, I started cutting stacks and stacks of these:
This is only a tiny percentage of the amount I've done, which I put aside just for the sake of the photo. After cutting and also cutting some of hub's old t-shirts, started stacking and sewing them together into fabric flowers. Ok, that's all I have to show for now, will keep everyone updated!
