Description

Having been inspired by a beautiful pair of designers jean pants, which was a clever patchwork of various jean pieces, I sewed my new pair by upcycling my family’s worn-out pairs. The whole process of making them was so much fun! I drafted my first ever pattern for real clothes too.

Material Notes

Very tired four pairs of jeans in various depth of indigo blue

    Raw power … Yeah! Love all the well placed fragments (buttons near the ankle) Difficult to place a zipper in a most unconventional way! Real cool!

    These jeans reminds me of a pair I had in the sixth grade!(~~a looooong time ago~~) I had a matching jacket too. Your jeans are FABULOUS!! The fit is perfect and they look professionally designed! How long did it take you?
