Recycle Old Jeans Into a Charming Pillow

Any Color of Denim Will Work Nicely!
Put old jeans to good use in this wonderful pillow. It will provide a bit of whimsy wherever you display it.
Sunny yellow sunflowers will look great against just about any color of denim. So, have fun going through your old jeans and fabric stash to create your own combination.
Consider changing the flower color, too. Sunflowers come in a lot of colors, so make yours whatever color you want.
Straight sewing and a bit of fusible applique make this a simple project to complete.
The finished pillow, designed by Back Pocket Design, is 16″ x 16″.
