We all know about the upcycled denim don’ts– we’ve seen them at the flea markets, on etsy…denim tote bags with lace trims, denim panties…just check out some of these finds on regretsy to get a taste…BUT there definitely are some denim DO’s as well… like:
This origami pillow and necklace by Julie Floerisch via Outsapop
These Denim Chucks originally found on Ecouterre
The Poufs by Ferm-Living
And the jeans, the doggy jacket, and the bag, that we made!
(The bag is in our book “Refashioned Bags” book, the doggy Jacket is in our book “99 Ways to Cut, Sew and Deck Out your Denim” and the jeans were part of our ongoing limited edition collections…
Nowadays, denim is used for all kinds of things–from home insulation to garter belts… (not kidding), sometimes walking a fine line between a do and a don’t…
What do you think? Are you into Upcycled denim?
