cutting denim

Oh my that is all I have done for over a week.I hurt but 4 bins of jeans have been reduced and I have 430 8 inch squares.I am kinda sick of them now.
|
wow, I see some beautiful quilts in the making
|
What will they become?
|
Yep, those jeans are slow going with a pair of scissors. I try to use my rotary cutter as much as possible. I cut across the legs first to separate them from the top and then rotary cut down the welted outside leg seam to open them up. Put them away for a bit and you will have them all ready for another quilt when needed.

It takes a lot of work to 'recycle', but it will be worth it! Give your hands a rest..........soon you will get inspired to go again.

I just did the same thing with 5 inch squares from blue jeans. I also used the pockets to make little zippered pouches or bags. Then I just saw that Joanne's has blue jean material on sale! I may buy some of it if I run low on squares for my rag quilt.
|
That's really great. I look forward to seeing how you use them.
|
Well done!!! You deserve some R&R and chocolate!!!

Keep thinking.. Free fabric.. I've made three quilts, and they are all loved.. I also made pillow covers for my couch.. I love that I can wash them, as that is Socks favorite place to take naps..His girlfriend comes over and she also hangs out on them..
|
I have been cutting 3" squares, too. Filled up a garbage bag with scrap...so happy that I'm making progress.
