Used jeans
I have a rental unit and my tenants vacated, leaving a bag or two of old clothes. I checked the bag and there were a lot of old jeans in it, which I took. I want to make pet beds with them, the jean material on one side and outdoor fabric on the other for durability. I plan to stuff them with leftover pieces of fabric that I have for softness and birth the two, then stuff. What needle should I use to sew the pieces together? Should I wash the outdoor fabric first? I did wash the jeans. Can I make mug rugs with the jeans? I do not want to make a quilt, too heavy, but any other ideas?
