Great Info for Working with Old Jeans or New Fabric!
Quilts made from old denim jeans are sturdy, interesting and tend to attract a lot of attention. They’re also warm and inviting and make lovely memory quilts (click here for denim quilt patterns).
New denim fabric is just as cozy and can be used successfully in quilts. In fact, lightweight denim can be handled similarly to cotton quilting fabric. However, denim from jeans requires heavy duty tools, needles and thread.
Suzy from Suzy Quilts has written an excellent article about sewing with denim. You’ll find many useful tips for incorporating denim into quilts, whether it be new fabric or pieces salvaged from jeans.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
