DIY Jeans Refashion Ideas

Have an old pair of plain jeans that need some new life?

Here is some inspiration for DIY refashions you can do to spruce that pair of denim. Get your scissors, needles, thread and/or Beacon Fabri-Fix Fabric Glue ready! You can add printed fabric, lace trim, jewels, paint, embroidery...all sorts of embellishments. Now these are mainly ideas for the ends of the pant legs like cuffs but you can add details to just about anywhere on your jeans. Make them your own and make them stand out.

1. Cut out and weave other fabric through
2. Sew on colorful rhinestones
3. Hand embroider your own designs
4. Add metallic and patterned trims
5. Brocade silk fabric cuffs
6. Side split with fabric insert
7. Add embroidered floral appliques
8. Cut out the denim and stitch outlines
9. Split open sides and add in different colored denim
10. Split open sides of wide jeans to get breezy almost flared jeans

11. Hand paint all kinds of designs

12. Add grommets and ribbon
13. Cute bunny cuffs
14. Add embroidered floral mesh fabric for sheerness and flare
15. Shiny sequin fabric cuffs

New in thee shop: Upcycled Jeans Patchwork Sweatshirt and Bucket Hat Set

 

Upcycled jeans patchwork sweatshirt and matching bucket hat.


      This sweatshirt was something I hadn't made before. I used Simplicity pattern R11066, a combo of styles a & b, size Medium. For the patchwork I used a melody of gray, black and blue jeans. Some patches have a raw frayed edges on top but inside all seams are completely serged. The kangaroo pocket is a an overall bib that gave the sweatshirt a total of three pockets. I still had some smaller leftover pieces of denim at the end so I made a simple (non-reversible) bucket hat with a matching patchwork. So they could be worn as a set.

You can find this upcycled jean sweatshirt here.
