Give new life to your pre-loved jeans, with these simple techniques and inventive designs.
This practical book brings together ingenious repairing techniques and repurposing ideas. Your favourite jeans can be patched, visibly mended, reworked into a new fashionable style or even cut up to form a completely new garment or accessory. Whether you want a tote bag, a bucket hat, or a fresh new cut in your trousers, Janelle Hanna's designs will show you how to rescue good denim from landfill and give it a better future. And you'll discover that there's nothing more satisfying than turning something old into something new!
