Denim – Think Outside the Pants

Wall Street sharks, fashion models, stay-at-home moms… they all have one wardrobe common denominator.  It’s one thing that everyone has in their drawers or closets regardless of income level or where they’re from.  Jeans are just about the easiest, most comfortable thing you can wear and still look pulled together.  Denim fabric is soft, durable, easy to care for, forgiving, and good-looking.  What more could you want?  It’s not just great for jeans, though.


Home Décor

For an easy, casual look in the family room, denim throw pillows and slip covers offer an economical and attractive way to change up the look of the room.  If you have a family with small children, certain fabrics and looks just aren’t practical.  You want to stay away from anything that will stain easily or require dry cleaning and gentle care.

Denim Stripe Decorative features a blue, yellow, and white stripe horizontal pattern.  Pastoral Blue Chambray is a heavier weight, plain woven cotton that offers a great value.


Jeggings

Jeggings are one of fashion’s hottest new trends and a very simple sewing project.  Some people love them, some people hate them, but they are comfortable, stretchy, and easy to wear.  The beauty is that you can throw them on and go.  Just be sure that they aren’t cut too tight for your figure!  Frontier Stretch Denim stretches front to back and side to side, making it ideal for this project.


Pretty Things

All good things must come to an end, and those favorite jeans are going to die after a few hundred wearings.  Don’t send them directly to the grave.   Recycle your denim jeans into something fun and functional like roses that can be pinned on a jacket or glued to a headband.  Denim coasters are also a fun way to reuse the hem of old jeans.
