Jeans represent democracy in fashion. ~ Giorgio Armani
Adventures in Denim UpCycling
Work has started in breaking down 11 pairs of old jeans to make a braided rug and a patchwork-denim pocket rug.
Two "Gee Whiz" Impressions
1. Riveting Quality
manufacturer uses a very strong, thick thread, and several use rivets to make sure the pockets don't tear at the top edges. With the goal of preserving the fabric on the pants to make a braided rug, it's a challenge to remove the pockets!
They're all just about the same size! A stack of the 8 pockets, removed from the 4 pairs of jeans, are shown in the lower right corner of this photo. The shape and sizes are virtually the same.
And, didja know...
The coin pocket was originally a pocket for a pocket watch!
