Looking for demin charm pack
I would love to make a picnic rag quilt using demin as the back fabric. I have searched all over looking for denim charm packs with no success.
Any ideas where to look? Thank you so much. |
It never even occurred to me that this might be a possibility.
I cut my own from old jeans - but one can buy yardage - then one could cut whatever size squares/pieces one wanted. If you do cut up old jeans - keep the squares from each pair of jeans together until you use them - there is a wide variation in colors and textures of denim. |
I suppose you could buy some used jeans (in the biggest sizes you can find) at Goodwill and other thrift stores.
|
I asked a few friends and to keep their old jeans for me and I got more than I needed.. Even used jeans have good fabric that can be re-used! Some I used the inside fabric for a good variety of colors.

My local thrift stores sell packages of denim squares. Check your local thrift stores to see if they do or wait to a special sale day and stuff a bag with jeans for a minimal cost.

It's garage sale time....could be your answer

Usually quilters usually buy denim jeans in resale stores. Looks like Esty is the place to buy some:

I think it would be less costly to buy denim by the yard and cut it up than the etsy sites I looked at.

Thank you everyone for your replies. This board is so helpful. Especially for a beginner.
