We go through life wearing jeans at some stage or another. Jeans wear out, become faded, ripped, or simply go out of fashion.
There are many ideas for old jeans; make a bag, stuffed toys, holdalls, etc.

These are great, I want to upholster my loveseat in jeans and have been collecting pairs for a while now. All I need now is the time.

My three & two seater sofas need to be recovered, I am looking for a source of more jeans.

We have a thrift shop here that only charges $.25 per clothing item so I was fortunate to find plenty of jeans.
