For the last several years, every time I stripped a pair of jeans to use for rugs, I cut out the inseam and the outer leg seam. I tied them in a bundle and put them in a box or a basket that was handy. And now......
My box floweth over!
Actually, I don't think this is all I have....I think there's another box downstairs.
My thought was that they would be good to use in a rug....but, I didn't want to mix them with regular jean strips. I found some #18 sewing needles, and I think it's time to start joining the strips together using a zigzag stitch. We just about have uses for every part of a pair of jeans!!!
I'll keep you updated.
I'm still moving a little slow since the smack down last week. I learned quickly to take it easy...these summer colds are MEAN!!!! I found this stash when I attempted to clean out a closet. But, this is something I can tackle a little at a time.
Can you believe it's eleven days until Labor Day? Where did the summer go?
Happy Weaving!

I will be curious to see how it works, I have thought about it but I haven't saved my seams, yet!
