Isn't that the truth, June? I'm fortunate that my room is small, 12'x12', and must have walk ways and free space for two easy chairs and a tea table - otherwise "things," like fabric, would get out of hand.
I hit the mother lode of great denim at a yard sale; I got several pair of as-good-as-new jeans, 100% heavy cotton, in a very large men's size. They were size 54x36, relaxed fit, and only $2 per pair.
I will post photos once I get started. I've gotten most of the denim prepped. I take it to the commercial washer for a really hot wash and dry, then cut out the seams, cut out back pockets leaving a generous seam allowance since I like to add lots of pockets and zips to the boys' twin-size throws.
I haven't messed with the fronts much. I can't decide how I could use the front pockets. Some of the zips are given to a friend that does clothes-repair sewing for others.
