Patchwork Denim


Following the denim theme, again I used my scraps to make this cushion cover (I cut the squares with my Big Shot machine which saved a lot of time :o)  I'm really in to making cushion covers at the moment & have bought some gorgeous "London" fabric on ebay which I'm making some more from & will post when I've finished them.

I Do Love Denim :o)


I keep all my & my family's old jeans (I hate throwing any material away lol) & decided to use them to make cushion covers :o)  I made the small one first & then wanted to make more.  I broke a sewing machine needle in the process but luckily I had plenty of spares.

I'd like to link to:



I think I'm going to make more of these if I can get my hands on some more jeans & I want to try my hand at making jeans bags too :o)

Denim Owl Brooch


I hate throwing anything away & love using old clothes to make something new.  I made this owl brooch using some old jeans & some material from an old shirt.  I've made quite a few in different coloured denims with different material for the wings.  I have another denim brooch I made which is my fav & is on my coat but I will photo it (when I remember) to post on here :o)
