Found this website with women who started this company by using reconstructed blue jeans to create some beautiful jackets. It doesn't look like they would be too difficult to attempt, with a nice jacket pattern and some old jeans. I think it will be on my list of things to do, as I have a dresser drawer full of jeans and jean pieces that MIL gave me. http://www.blackbeltdesigns.net/designs.asp
Laura Go Canucks! Asking a quilter to mend something is like asking Picasso to paint your garage
Ok, for those prices, I would donate some of my jeans that actually fit me! I have made a 6 gored skirt from jeans legs and some hot pads/ rugs/ placemats, but if I could get that kind of money off of my "cast offs" I am all for it!
I don't wear jeans & did not care for the clothing. Besides, it is way over priced. The Univ of Memphis is collecting cast-off jeans so it can be turned into insulation & given to Habitat for Humanity. It makes great insulation for walls & is a great way to "go green". Marty
I liked the overalls. I liked most of them but agree the prices are ridiculous -- but there are always people out there looking for ways to throw away their money. Dorothy
Doo you suppose she constructs them in some unusualway or hand sews them. Of course the less we value our work the lessothers will value it. Give a puppy away and it hard to find takers, sell it for a bit more than its worth and people will at least look to see if they want it.
