I wear denim all the time and had old pairs lying around that I didn't just want to throw out. I was so glad to find this post and these instructions. As a newby to sewing and patterns I found out most things are behind the paywall. So anyhoo I followed the instructions to a T and the end result is just beautiful, everything I hoped for and more. I loved that this project had so many techniques, cutting, hemming, putting in a zipper (that is the way I chose to finish the cushion), great practice for a novice.

Two things I&#...I did this and it turned out great. Two things I'd add -- the instructions here have an unclear error. When you cut the strips at 45 degrees, the cut strips should be 3" wide. That's measuring 4" down the vertical side of the piece and cutting at a 45degree angle -- the strips are not 4" wide as noted in the directions. I ended up using some vintage pre-cut denim left over from a rag rug project, so some of my strips were a bit wider than 2.25" and some were smaller and I didn't always have 4 strips of the same color. I matched as close as I could but have two very dark stripes that do match all the way across. Exactly matching the dark stripes draws the eye to them and away from bits that don't match as well. The whole thing still looks great.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714292721503853571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806574735702806847.post-33092058731664151732018-07-07T09:21:31.981-04:002018-07-07T09:21:31.981-04:00This is soo beautiful.

Everything was coming along fine, but I think the four inches between the strips cut at a 45° angle are too wide. Are you sure all the demensions are correct?
