looking for quilting or other craft ideas using denim and flannel
So its the first of the year and all my holiday projects are done. We are on a major budget right now (in the process of starting a new banquet hall business) so I am not shopping for fabric or any kind. But I found myself bored and in the mood to create something. I have somewhat of a stash of scraps and small pieces of yardage to work with, but only scraps of batting. Yesterday I discovered 6 old pairs of jeans that I had stashed away in my closet for future crafting use. Decided to make some rag windows pillows that I saw on this site http://apassionatequilter.blogspot.c...al-part-i.html
So these are way too cute, and I'm having a blast making them. Earlier today DH is out and about and sees a yard sale that has lots of jeans....negotiates with the lady and buys me 30 pairs of jeans for 50 cents each. I got plenty to play with now!
The greatest find in this pile of old jeans...there are 4 pairs of flannel lined jeans, all like new. That's like a double score in my book! Now I have denim to work with, plus flannel to work with. I am looking for ideas that would combine denim and flannel...4 pairs of jeans worth of it :) So I ask of you fellow quilters...what crafty ideas do you have where I can best utilize these jeans?
