I am hoping you will join in on this swap to make your swap partner something using an old pair of denim jeans. You can find jeans/denim in thrift shops and garage sales, if you don't have some on hand.
You will only swap with one partner.
There are many items on Pinterest using denim jeans: aprons, purses, pumpkins (I love this idea!), Christmas ornaments, Christmas stockings, wall pocket organizers, and more. If you are like me, we don't need any more tote or shopping bags, but the purses, computer bags, and cell phone cases can be handy.
Here is a link to some of the denim item possibilities. I am sure you can find more.
https://www.pinterest.com/search/my_pins/?q=recycled%20denim&rs=typed&term_meta[]=recycled%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=denim%7Ctyped
I have made numerous aprons (both half aprons and butcher aprons),
purses and I even made a skirt with jeans top and fabric bottom. I find recycling denim enjoyable. For a partner a skirt would be difficult because we are all different sizes, but there are lots of other possibilities.
If you have made things out of jeans, please let us know what you make. It's fun to find out how others recycle denim.
Signups until August 15, partners posted August 16.
Sendout by August 31, just in time for fall.
I hope you will join us!
Signups: Please contact your partner for address. If you don't get a response please let me know and I will try to contact them. I can't wait to see these projects.

Hahahaha . . . funny how that goes sometimes isn't it Katmom? I recently made one of these ??????s for my studio but I'm liking this denim version a lot better. DH says he has another pair of jeans with the knees gone, so I'll be able to make another one. LOL. Now, how in the world do I find #128204?

Sign me up!
The first thing I ever made from denim was a newsboy cap. My sister churunga had the pattern when we were teenagers and let me use it. It was the most challenging pattern I'd made up to then, and I loved that cap.

Welcome, Vanessa! Our numbers are growing. That cap sounds wonderful. I have a wool one and love it in the winter.

I see that often in MJF and it's probably a character or emoji that MJF site doesn't support

Well, there are 8 of us joined so far. I hope some more join up with us. We've still got a couple weeks. If no more show up soon, should I cut off the signups earlier? What do you think?
I am making something I think will turn out very useful. I am hoping to make me one, too, because I think this will be a handy project for someone. LOL!
I finished my Panel border for a quilt guild swap so now I can work on my denim project.

Keep to the schedule. I am having trouble with the heat right now. I hope the temperature will decrease by the end of the week.

I will keep to the schedule, Marie. It will take time for me to make mine, too.
I have several aprons made, but am trying to make something different. When one of you becomes my partner, if you would like an apron, just let me know. I'm all ready for that! LOL!
