Jeans basket weave into textured vest/jacket

Supplies: Pair of husband's old jeans. 






Started to basket weave my husband's terribly old jeans. I wanted to make a jacket but ran out of denim for the sleeves. For now it is an amazingly textured vest. Look forward to finding another pair to add sleeves.

Cut denim into panels. Rip strips leaving an edge intact. Cut extra strips and weave. Cut pattern. Pin all edges and sew all around...Put together.

  1. I've wanted to do a basket-weave skirt for a while, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to keep it together. Your vest look great, dit you just sew the sideseams or did you sew along every piece of denim? :)

    1. I just sewed the side seams and collar/hems, it will be a little loose depending on the fabric...denim is durable and holds well together. I didn't sew along every piece, just weaved them.

    ابدأ من الجزء العلوي وقم بغبار السقف والزوايا والمنافذ والمراوح وأجهزة الإضاءة.

    تنظيف الجدران

    تحقق من بصمات الأصابع حول مفاتيح الإضاءة والزوايا. تعمل منظفات العصا السائلة من شركات مثل Tide بشكل جيد لإزالة بعض البقع العنيدة. حل آخر رائع للبقع اللاصقة هو تطبيق كمية صغيرة من مطهر الأقمشة على اسفنجة ثم فركها على المنطقة. كل ما تمسك بالجدار سيختفي.شركة تنظيف بالدمام
