Nina says: “ I really like jeans. It's always such a shame to throw them away. But now they have new life. And this rug is proof of that. I decided that my love for jeans and patchwork is very compatible. This rug was inspired by Cheryl Phillips.

Watch a video about Moroccan motifs for patchwork by Cheryl Phillips.

I don’t have special rulers, so I did it simply: I enlarged the image on the screen and applied transparent plastic (or paper), transferred all the marks, and it turned out to be a template. And then everything is on video. The headboard of the chair cover is also based on Cheryl Phillips.

Here I used strip sewing.

We cut fabric of different colors into strips of arbitrary width (mine are 4 cm) with a length of 40-50 cm.

We sew the strips together at an angle. It turns out to be a very long strip. Fold it in half face to face, sew from the end, reach the middle, cut.

Again, fold in half, sew to the fold, cut, etc.»

You can make amazing things out of old jeans. beautiful bags. And although this product is not for home comfort, it fits today's topic of repurposing old jeans. Therefore, I decided to post such works by Nina Ilyushina.

I offer you a selection of all kinds of ideas for alterations from jeans.


























Lyudmila.
Hello everyone! I am the author of this blanket. I will describe how I sewed it. First I collected scraps. When there were enough of them, I sewed them into strips first and then sewed these strips. Then I just sewed on pieces of fabric with a pattern on them. Then I closed the seams with ribbons .I sewed an unnecessary sheet down. I never use synthetic padding on my bedspreads.

Jeans, denim, denim...
A lot has been written, said and done about jeans and alterations from denim clothing. Every person at home probably has a favorite one, worn out by time and different adventures, a pair of jeans. A pair that you don’t wear anymore, but you don’t even dare throw it away. Your favorite thing with history has the right to a second life. After all, denim is such a cool material that retains its beautiful appearance even in a “not new” state. And if denim is slightly worn and frayed when worn, it becomes even more valuable and stylish, right?
What qualities of denim attract craftsmen and handicraftsmen? First of all, the special coloring of the fabrics, its composition is cotton, sometimes with an admixture of elastane. By the way, fabrics with elastane are even more pleasant to sew, wear and remake. Strength, durability... Interweaving of two colors in base - light and dark threads give their unique decorative effect.
For example, crazy patchwork in blue and white: sea self made! But imagine from what large quantity the hostess got rid of the scraps?!!


A lot of cool, original and necessary things can be created in this style. A sleeveless vest, a bedspread, a panel and a bag are already shown here. It’s time to post a master class on sewing such a patchwork!)))

So, MK in the "crazy" style from vaksya.
I'm posting MK based on lazy patchwork. For the base I use old bed linen. The size and shape of the product depend on your idea. The smallest pieces are used, which are a pity to throw away, and you can’t create anything from them. Threads - any color, all seams will be inside.



We sew a 5-sided triangle into the center of the workpiece (more angles are possible, but fewer are not allowed!). Next, sew on the next piece, turn it over, extend the sides and draw a trapezoid. The upper base is smaller than the lower one. I sew counterclockwise, always sequentially.



If I have a large piece, I don’t chisel it, but straighten the edge and stitch it in, then trim it properly.



After sewing on several flaps, I make sure to iron them, the product looks neat.



Here's the result: jeans started to run out and I had to add more shirts.



To summarize: 1) It is based on a 5-gon. 2) Always sew in one direction and apply the parts sequentially. 3) Alternate light and dark fabrics (the pattern will be more expressive). Look like that's it. This technique is very good for those who are just learning to stitch: pieces can be applied lengthwise, crosswise, and askew. It’s like you’re learning, and at the same time you’re producing a product. I wish you all good luck and not only in sewing!
