I will give it a try. It is the most beautiful recycled denim garment I have seen yet. It looks so wearable. Thank you for sharing!

I made sure the denim wrapped around in the front a good 6 inches or so to create a facing. I cut the original sleeves off till about elbow length and then created new sleeves from pant bottoms, using the hem for cuffs. I layered the new sleeve over the old, leaving the old for a lining. The man's belt I used was not thin, but it also was not rigid. I was able to cut it to size and then stitch it in using a very heavy duty needle and thick thread, stitching slowly. <br /><br />I think if I were going to do it over again I might cut the side seams of the commode it opens it was laid out flat and then do the layering. I'm not sure how that would affect the drape. So in that seem back together would be tough given the thickness. It was difficult to layer the pieces on to a completed garment but I also had good control of where everything went and how it would finally look. Are used to dress warm to do most of the draping which helped a lot. If you don't have one maybe you could borrow one from a friend . Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I would love to make a similar one. I came home from the capital of denim, Greensboro NC, with a car full of remnants.Knitinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277065590954010548noreply@blogger.com
