laundry room curtain







 I can honestly say this project was a bit time
consuming, but I'm proud to say I stayed on this one until it was finished.







 I bought (so many) jeans from a dollar bag thrift store to get started.  I used a sheet from one I already had in the linen closet.  My dad was kind enough to make a template for me out of plexiglass.  And so the sewing began.



Using my sewing machine I stitched an X on each individual jean piece and the sheet backing to more easily hold them together.  From there I sewed them together to form kind of a column to the length I needed.

 

 Then I sewed the columns together. At this point this thing was getting SEW SEW heavy.  Once finished with the needed columns for width, I took a pair of scissors and clipped the fabric where its joined, when washed and dried it gives a frayed look.




 Yea I didn't want to look at this every time I did the dreaded laundry.





SEW much better!
