My stash of old jeans just got smaller...I made a pillow from 2 sets of well worn work jeans DS left this summer..28x36...I filled it with bits of old fiberfill and small fabric snippets...the pillowcase is an old denim quilt...40x60...folded in half wrong sides together and sewn shut on 2 sides...very utilitarian, but it will go out on the covered porch for our outdoor dog this winter...come next spring it gets tossed into the burn pile...May be able to reuse the 'pillowcase' next year...meanwhile I raided the thread drawer and have emptied 6 partially filled bobbins and at least that many older spools of thread...great way to create empty space....
