Denim Ampersand Pillow Made From Recycled Jeans

By Susan

A while back I was shopping in a local department store and came across some huge block-style letters and symbols. One that caught my eye and I just loved was a huge ampersand.

Make a Denim Pillow from Repurposed Jeans

By Susan

One of the most popular ways to reuse the denim fabric from a pair of old jeans is in making a pillow. That's what Glimmer did with an old pair of her husband's jeans. She designed her pillow in an "envelope" style so if needed, the cover could easily be removed for washing.   Love the addition of the pocket! Glimmer's tutorial says, … [Read more...]
