denim fabric
a qb friend gave me lots and lots of denim fab.
I want to do something GREAT with all this fab suggestions please. |
I made a denim quilt for my son. He is a long haul truck driver so anything takes a beating in the truck. I cut all the different denims into squares and threw in some squares of different plaid flannel. I started making 9 patches. Then I sewed the 9 patches together until I got the size quilt I wanted. I put a poly batt in it and a flannel back and played with my mom's long arm to quilt it and added flannel binding. My son loves it! It is not the prettiest quilt I have ever made but it has been the most used and best traveled one!! I named it "Junk Yard Dog" because of the denim and flannel scraps I used in it. He says it is the warmest quilt he has ever had.

Hi Lynnie,
I am thinking hobo purses, tote bags, wallets or cosmetic bags. It would be good to machine embroider onto. It is so durable, that a man's work apron or tool bag would be an option too. |
Hi Lynnie, I have made three denim quilts. Are the denims from jeans, or fabric? I made two with strips, and the other with squares, and rectangles. I didn't put batting in between. I used flannel.

Hi Lynnie I just finished one mine was a foe cathedral window it was a lot more work then I that it would be.
Google denim quilts pic's lots of ideas |
One friend made denim chenille throw rugs. She just throws them in the washer and drier. Since she uses old denim she doesn't have a great investment. They still look great after quite a while on her floors, esp in the kitchen.

rag quilt ----i made a rug with strips of denim sewed across the center to a old bath towel .....heavy but everyone loves it
|
Denim makes wonderful rag quilts. I have made several of them & are everyone's favorite. I use fleece for the backings & no batting. They are really warm.
|

|
I made a denim rag quilt. I used regular cotton fabric on the front.
