Stylish Denim Half Apron - handcrafted from soft comfortable denim. Created with all the perfect details we love about our jeans. Just turned into an apron! Nice and soft medium weight denims are sewn together to create one of a kind pieces. The left and right edges have denim selvages. So they will only fray just a bit. The bottom edge has a stitch in it, so it will just get that worn frayed edge from washing but will stop at the edge. The top is hemmed with a nice wide band for a nice comfortable fit. The long straps can wrap around and tie in front and are crafted from the seams. The addition of a recipe pocket and real leather labels are the perfect touch. This is a great Zero Waste Piece. I hand craft a lot of items with upcycled materials. These aprons have given me away to use almost every piece of my materials and not wasting any of my product. 32" across and 23" top to bottom. Each strap is an additional 41". Each apron is handcrafted and will have minor variances. Every apron is unique, but guaranteed to be as fabulous as the one featured in the picture. Any questions or need something custom, please feel free to contact me.

On this page: WHAT TO LOOK FOR HOW TO UNPICK OLD JEANS WHAT ABOUT THE WAIST? BENEFITS TO RECLAIMING OLD DENIM Go back to the halfmoon 101 JEANS | Sew Along HOME Harvesting, repurposing, upcycling or reclaiming denim. These are all just fun ways to describe unpicking the seams of old, used jeans so that you can use the denim for another project. In this post I will give you tips and tricks on reclaiming pre-loved denim to create your made-to-measure halfmoon 101 JEANS. Reworking and upcycling your clothing is a great way to sew sustainably and be friendly to your budget. When you harvest denim from old jeans, you are rewarded with bits and pieces – like pockets and belt loops – that are done for you, and with denim that has already been aged. This allows you to create truly unique jeans that have people asking, “Wow, where did you get those!?” To which you get to proudly respond, “Oh these? I made them.” What to look for Too-big-for-you jeans. Jeans that are several sizes too large for you will make cutting easier and less likely that you’ll have to do too much piecing together of scraps. Cool markings, like distressed edges, holes, paint splatters, fun stains, etc. This will not lead to “office wear” jeans, but it will make them funky and unique! Non-stretch denim. Remember, this pattern is meant for non-stretch denim, so you’ll need to pay attention to that when hunting for pre-loved jeans as well. I’ve found non-stretch to be more common among men’s jeans. Functional hardware. This is not really necessary but can be handy! If you have other hardware you intend to use, then you can just ignore this. But finding jeans with functional hardware might also save you a bit more money and time. How to unpick old jeans After spending hhooouuuurrsss unpicking jeans the first time I created upcycled jeans, I realized that there is a far simpler – and incredibly satisfying – way to unpick your RTW jeans. Wherever you see a chain stitch, you should be able to undo that seam by pulling one thread. It’s so fun! You need to get the thread loose at the right end, but it’s a true joy when it works. Get a little thread tail going like this (this is an older photo): I can explain it best in this little video: What about the waist? Many RTW jeans have a folded over, straight waistband, which is at a stark contrast to the curved waistband of the halfmoon 101 JEANS. There are two main options: 1) keep the folded, straight waistband and accept the gaping that will occur; 2) cut into your waistband and piece a curved waistband together. What you decide to do about this depends, of course, on your body shape. If your waist measures into a smaller size than your hips, you are likely to need to cut into the waistband I knew I wanted to keep the folded waistband of my grey jeans if possible, mainly because it had an orange button-hole that I liked. Before taking a final decision, I cut a curved waistband from virgin denim and did a baste-fit with both waistbands. straight reclaimed waistband some gaping curved waistbandno gaping I decided that I can live with this amount of gaping, so I went with the waistband as-is from the reclaimed jeans. If you have more gaping, or just want to eliminate it as much as possible, you can use the instructions provided with the pattern on page 13. The larger the size you require, the easier this will be (as the curve flattens as the size increases). Cutting at the center back: Cutting at the side notches: Depending on the amount of fabric you have available to you, you may not be able to maintain the requisite grainline. This may result in a slightly less-than-perfect waistband, but this is not likely to be noticeable to the untrained eye thanks to the interfacing that you'll be applying. Most important is that it sits comfortably on you. If you opt for the straight waistband (as reclaimed from your old jeans), and keep the fold at the top, as I did with my grey jeans, you'll need to modify how you attach the waistband. When you get to Step 14: Prep + Attach Waistband, you will not sandwich the jeans with the main + lining waistband. Rather, you will align the waistband to the jeans right sides together, raw edges and notches matching. If you're keeping either the button-hole or the button itself, you'll want to tuck the seam allowances of the short edge around the allowances of the long seam around the waist. That's hard to describe...but here's a photo: Pin this carefully so that the stitch lines are all hidden. And then finish stitching around the waistband, finishing off the belt loops at the same time. Benefits to reclaiming old denim Pockets and belt loops are done! Reuse zipper and button (or button-hole) at the waistband Might be able to reuse button-fly Press lines may already be done for you, at the hem or seams, for example Breathing new life into something no longer in use Potentially rescuing fabric from a landfill, from being burned or from being dumped on a low-income country

It's a change in seasons and as you clean out your closet and your drawers of old clothes to make room for new ones, maybe you can also upcycle? I am all about donating gently used clothing, but what if your's has seen better days? Instead of adding them to the landfill, you can create your own braided rug. Check out the video below: Try to Use Similar Weighted Fabrics... I have done this many times, and my all time favorite is to use old denim jeans. But if you want a lighter rug, you can use old t-shirts, tops or anything. But I personally have found the braided rug looks it's best with similar weighted fabrics. Check Thrift Shops for Discarded Clothes I found this to be a great source for fabrics. When people donate to the thrift shops, only the better condition clothes make it to the floor for sale. They quite often have bags of old clothes that end up in the landfill. How to Make a Denim Braided Rug I bought a bag of old jeans for 5 bucks! I washed them and then cut them up to make this rug: How to Make a Recycled Jeans Braided Rug. Follow the video (at top of page) on how to braid the fabric and attach new pieces. How to Create Strips of Denim: 1. Cut up the side seams to the crotch and cut the top part of the jeans off, leaving you two open legs. 2. Cut strips about 2 inches wide. 3. To make this easier, you can create a cardboard template 1.5 to 2 inches wide in a long strip (tape cardboard together for a long piece), or use a yard stick, and make the outline with a fabric marker. 4. Cut the strips out using sharp scissors or electric scissors (totally saves your hands from cramping). Obviously you need to have good sharp scissors, or electric scissors, which I used. I got them online from Amazon. Here is a link to Electric scissors made the whole process quicker, easier and fun. Once you have the strips, then create the rug as in the video. But this is where denim differs. It is much heavier, and unless you have a specific denim need for your sewing machine, I personally found it much easier to sew the coils together as they formed using carpet or upholstery thread and needle by hand. This is a much stronger thread, and I found it much easier to work with than trying to fit this thicker denim rug under the machine needle. It is not hard to do. I simply began coiling it tightly as soon as I could and sewed it together. As the braid grew I kept coiling it and sewing it by hand. How to Make Your Braided Rug Safe? If you are using the rugs for hardwood or tiled floors, then you need to make then "anti-slip". I purchased this anit-slip fabric from Amazon and they really work. They keep it in place. It generally comes in a big rectangle and you can cut it into pieces to fit under your DIY braided rugs. This keeps them in place on any surface to make them safe. I hope this has got you inspired to cut up those old clothes and create awesome and one of a kind unique braided rugs for your home or cottage. Feel good knowing you totally upcycled or recycled your clothes!
