Here's an apron
I was just given a large number denim jeans and I am wondering if you have a favorite recycle jean project. I have made purses, and have seen aprons, rugs, etc. Many of them have decorative pockets and legs. Do you have suggestions for recycling these jeans? Would love to see a photo.

Thanks everyone. I love all your ideas, especially the snake print purse and the cathedral window quilt. Also like the denim block from Pinterest. May have to give that a try for pot holders. Will post some photos as I get some projects done. Again, thanks a lot.

I have never done it, but it is on my to do list. I seen a tutorial on jeans cut into circles, a square of material put into the center of the circle, 1/8 of an inch from outside of circle. Line up the sides of each square, and sew together on the outer edge of square. I seen it done from wrong side of the jeans material. But I guess it is up to the quilter.

I haven't done this myself, but my DSIL cut up old jeans into squares, even using jean pockets as some squares, then backed with flannel and tied. I can tell you they are nice and warm, personal experience. When my brother died, my DSIL helped that DSIL to cut up my brother's jeans, coveralls, etc. and make them into quilts for each of their 4 children, as a memory quilt. gh
