Denim Blue Jeans • Series Overview

I love denim - the color, the fabric, the possibilities. This series overview pulls together the many posts I have put together showing the possibilities of denim in craft and décor. I expect this series will grow with time. I've yet to use my collection of old jeans for a project but there are certainly great ideas in this batch of posts.

Denim Blue Jeans • Quilts
Quilting is a natural for any scrap fabric and recycled jeans are no exception. But oh the variety! From country to contemporary and everything in between.

Denim Blue Jeans • Frayed
Finish the edges or fray them. There is a softness inherent in frayed jeans. See how it is used as part of function or design.

Denim Blue Jeans • Furniture
Denim is tough stuff which makes it a natural for casual furniture - and one not so casual option.

Denim Blue Jeans • Hodge Podge
And then there is everything else from jewelry to lampshades.

    Thank you for the denim inspiration! I have quilted with them and have wanted to do other ideas I have saved over the years, hopefully I will get my box of jeans out of storage :)

      I'd love to see a photo of your quilt. Share any new projects you create. Time for me to get creating with that denim, too!
