Denim quilts are extremely durable. Just like a favorite pair of jeans,
a denim quilt will last for years and years. You can make denim quilts
by taking old jeans and sewing them together.
If you're looking to sew your own denim quilts, a few good places to find
old jeans is the Goodwill store, Salvation Army, garage sales, and of
course the ever popular eBay.
If you're looking for a great gift idea, especially for someone younger,
then denim quilts can be a good solution. You can use denim quilts for picnics,
camping, or anything outdoors. Some people use denim quilts as bedding
for their pets.
Not only do jeans make great denim quilts, you can also use them for
pillowcases. A great idea if you don't have quite enough fabric to make
a complete quilt.
Another use for those old jeans is to make a wall hanging. The pockets
can be used to hold trinkets and souvenirs.
Old jeans also make good chair cushions, placemats, potholders, vests
and with a little creativity, you can make them reversible.
There is an art to quilting. It takes skill, precision, patience and
ingenuity. There are quilting forums that can answer many of your tough
questions concerning denim quilts. Members post photos and give tips
and pointers on how to plan and sew your denim quilts.
If sewing your own denim quilts is not your style, then there are a
number of online stores that carry a wide selection of denim quilts.
