Today's project is a simple and useful project! It is surprising how quickly hot pads and pot holders can get stained and gross looking. After awhile, you need some new ones. Repurposing an old pair of jeans is perfect because the heavier fabric adds more protection from hot pans.
When I started working on it, I realized that if I were working with 2 pairs of old jeans in different washes, it would be even more interesting. To create more texture with my one light washed pair, I changed the direction of the grain of the squares and strips as I put them together.
I've created a gallery of instructions for you to follow! Simple click on the photos and you will see how I crafted this denim hot pad!

There is nothing more comfy than a pair of jeans and a tee shirt to hang out in and this Tee Shirt and Jeans pillow couldn't be easier to make and also comfy to rest your head on! Remember the Heat 'n Bond craze of the 90's? Well, it has made a return when making this pillow! I love the look of the seam of the jeans going down the center of the pillow.
This pillow is a great way to preserve a memory brought on by a special tee just a little longer. In this case, the tee is from my son's freshman football team. He was the Offensive Line Captain that year and it was a great experience for him. I think he will love keeping that memory alive a little longer with this pillow sitting on his bed.
You can make a pillow to preserve a special shirt of your own. Do you have a great concert memory but the shirt has seen better days? How about a vacation that you would love to revisit? At some point you just have to part with those raggedy shirts, but you can pair them with your raggedy jeans in this project and make them special again!
I think my son will love it!
Send me photos of your tee shirt and jean creations! I would love to see them! So far I've shown you 3 projects made out of 1 pair of jeans! There are more to go! Have you tried any yet? Maybe you have some ideas that I haven't thought of. I'm so excited to show you some completely different things next week. See you then!

I am really super excited about this project because I had a brain storm for it all on my own and then made it happen.
My friend Anita teaches sewing classes to kids. They do some amazing projects. One of the projects that she has had them make in the past is a super cute reading pillow. It is a pillow with a pocket for storing your book and then to lean on as you read. As I was thinking of projects to make with my old pair of jeans, I picked up my Kindle and realized that it fit right into my front pocket! I thought to myself that a lot of people nowadays read almost exclusively on their electronic devices and maybe I could do a play on the reading pillow for them! This is what I came up with.

What is it about your favorite pair of jeans that even when they wear out, you don't want to get rid of them? The older they get, the more comfy they are. Even at my age of AHEM-something years old, I love wearing jeans, or denim more than anything else. But, after awhile, you end up with a stack of worn out jeans that you can't wear anymore but hate to just discard because you figure that there must be something to do with those old jeans!
