I don't mind working with denim for making purses/bags, but trying to do this quilt was a chore... (plus where my sewing machine is at, it is a bit of a cramped space)
I am sure if I knew more about what I was doing, it probably would not have been as hard heh I did enjoy it though, time to go snipping the edges. |
I laughed out loud when I read this. I think I have a "ton" of old jeans that I think I might do something with someday. Probably not! haha

Thats just funny =) The thing I learned when working with denim...don't expect ANYTHING to line up. If your ok with that then just sew away and call it good. =)

lol Teddybear lady, I still have a bit of denim left (not counting the top parts of the pants that are being made into purses)
RhayD that is pretty much how I got at the last part... just said the heck with it and let it go whonky and trimmed afterwards... now I am doing the snipping... yuck... hard on the hand, even with spring loaded scissors |
Used to actually make jeans. That was in my crazy days when it was much cheaper to make a pair than to buy them!

I love working with denim....lol so I must be crazy!
But when I use denim with other cotton fabrics, i uses a interfacing on the cotton fabric to give it weight and stability. Don't give up. Tammy |
I, too, had trouble with denim in the beginning. Using the right needle and making some machine adjustments helped me a lot.
