I think she distressed them, made the sleeves out of the pant legs, and basically turned the seat part upside down so the pockets are on the back of the jacket. She also added tea-dyed lace to the edges. It is amazing.Kassiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676988359515561182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-67145146849563004052010-01-17T11:34:27.027-05:002010-01-17T11:34:27.027-05:00This totally reminded me of the Randy Stonehill so...This totally reminded me of the Randy Stonehill song "Packing Up My Old Clothes" ("with my old and foolish ways, they just don't seem to fit me anymore")<br /><br />I am giggling and totally relating to the stubborn "keeping them in case I fit into them" theory.

They were not as colorful as yours but as soon as I got rid of them I lost a bunch of weight. Now mine were not reminiscent of BC days but they were well worn and ready to be replaced. If you didn't live in Florida I would recommend making a denim quilt out of them! They are extremely heavy though so maybe you have some family up north that love color and want to stay warm! Great Christmas gifts for next year? Doing an easy rag quilt with denim is a lot of fun! Purging is good for the soul!

I never wore those brands, but believe me I had plenty of tight jeans! I didn't do much of the line-dancing - was more of a hip-hop electric slide kinda gal - LOL! In fact, my first credit card purchase (sad) was an outfit to wear to an MC Hammer concert!

Ones that I'm going to try out sometime. :)<br /><br />http://www.allfreecrafts.com/sewing/recycle-denim.shtml<br /><br />There was another one, but I can't seem to find it.<br />My mom has lost a lot of weight and gave me her old jeans (there's a lot) and I've been meaning to make a jean quilt. She told me that it would be heavy if made completely with jeans, so I thought about getting some western print fabrics and bandannas and making a quilt with those. The cottons would lighten it up and add more color. Anyway, hope you get lots of ideas! :)JenThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17422346799483379873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-74232253772032712872010-01-16T12:14:48.416-05:002010-01-16T12:14:48.416-05:00Rockies, Roper, and Wranglers.....THOSE were the d...Rockies, Roper, and Wranglers.....THOSE were the days weren't they ??? and yes, tight ~ OH MY....<br />So glad I don't wear jeans like that anymore!!!<br /><br />I think a quilt is a great idea, seeing how you are sooooo talented :)<br /><br />Have a great weekend my friendLorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342381156917160229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-43757670681779975862010-01-16T11:55:46.785-05:002010-01-16T11:55:46.785-05:00Good riddance! :0)
