Going Green With Jeans...How
to Recycle Your Jeans into Sewing Projects
From old Jeans: How
to make a Denim Flower
Don't throw those old jeans
away! You can make this denim flower any size you want from an old pair of
jeans. I made mine small so that I can use it for a pin cushion.

This project from old jeans is
super quick and easy to make. I made my denim flower small so that I
could use it for a pin cushion. You can make this larger for a bed
pillow, or small and add potpourri for a scented sachet. What a nice
touch that would make on top of a gift.
You will need:
old denim, scraps of cotton fabric,
buttons, embroidery thread, and basic sewing supplies
First, make a circle pattern, or template.
I just used an old CD. |
 |
Next cut out a circle from the
denim and from the cotton fabric of your choice.
Pin the two circles pretty sides together and
stitch around the outer edge using the pressure foot as your guide.
Leave a 3" opening for turning and stuffing. |
 |
Turn the flower pretty side
out through the opening. Stuff the flower with fiberfill of your choice.
Hand stitch the opening closed. |
 |
With embroidery thread through
a needle tie a knot at the end and come up through the middle of the
flower. Take the needle to the outer edge of the flower and
bring it up the middle again. |
 |
Do this 5 times until you have
created a "flower" look with the embroidery thread as shown in the photo.
Stitch a button in the middle of the flower.
There! You have created an awesome denim
flower, and recycled, and helped saved our planet, all at the same time.
We'd love to see a
photo of your recycled project! |
