#Upcycled denim

[magpiesmiscellany]

My hands are still a little wonky for top stitching and setting zipper, but I really wanted to get this strata bag done before next month's rock and mineral show.

Main body is worn out jeans, flap and gusset is a ray troll fabric from spoonflower, the lining is marble patterned cotton from the joanns remnant bin.

Dahlia, 18 Heidi, 19

Dahlia, 18: “My entire look is thrifted/upcycled. I have been heavily inspired by 1920s women’s fashion lately and by Natalie Portman’s character Mathilda in Léon: The Professional.

Heidi, 19: “I'm wearing Mexican cowboy boots, Dior luster denim, If Six Was Nine tank top, and 14th Addiction leather jacket. I am def inspired by 90s and early 2000s Berlin youth fashion, as seen in the film Christiane F, and Hedi Slimane’s photography ‘Berlin’.”

That's 4 shades of yellow!

The closer the stitches, the more damaged the fabric. The farther apart the stitches, the less damaged the fabric.

Pleasant, pleasant to look at!

Heck, once I'm done I may casually add stitches to this as a slow stitching project.

Jeans guy asked if I would make this a Theseus ship.

Honestly?

That is a goal for me. To repair things so much that there's little to nothing left of the original. Making it both the old object and an entirely new object! I'm pretty happy that my vibes match my goals.

Behold, my new storage!

This is a shortened jean leg, but cut open from just near where the fly goes to the centre of the bum, to give two pockets. Then I just cut out and sewed on some other pockets from my collection of jeans rags, and voila!

Saw this cool idea for making wrist cuff thingies out of old jeans. I made this one 100% upcycled materials. (Even the thread is upcycled from the jeans I got it from.)
