I have an older black pair I'm going to use-washed em & they're ready to shred apart. Hey-I'm thinking of using halloween fabric for the black jeans-I could do a Halloween patchwork.....

A different way to take the front seams apart...the whole seam was ripped out.

Cathy,

Do you think its easier to use denim in the patched section or another softer fabric?

I finally ripped out a pair of jeans and did patchwork panels-they're basted to the front & back. Will see how it fits in the morning & get it done before going back to work on tuesday!

Robin, I always use a softer cotton fabric, it flows so much better. And i always use a fun cotton with a scene or just a funky pattern.
