Good afternoon friends!
For those who like to sew, I propose to make pillows from jeans.
Just can be put into the course of accumulated old jeans, which are already lying without a case.
I picked up a few interesting photos and tell you how you can sew pillows from jeans with your own hands: from simple to the original.
How to sew a simple pillow of old jeans
Old jeans - trousers, skirts, jackets are an excellent material for reuse.Of these, you can make many interesting things: from tapes to hammocks, sheathe the sofa and even sew a magnificent bedspread.
And the pillows can be sewed very diverse.
In order to sew one pillow, it will be enough for one old jeans.
Often and details from jeans use pillows for decoration: pockets, buttons, loops, emblems.
Of course, needed needles, threads, pins, good scissors, because denim fabric is quite dense and difficult to cut it.
And also do not do without a typewriter and iron.
We will not do the fastener, it is very convenient to make a pillowcase on the pillow in the form of an envelope so as not to bother with zipper.
How to cut the pillow
Jeans use, of course, clean - postgraded and ironed.
First cut them into parts:
- Cut the belt
- cut down the center from the crotch to the belt in front and also behind
- cut along the seams running along the thighs, into two parts
Patterns of pillows from jeans do not need.
Using a ruler and chalk black, and then cut out three rectangular parts: one in the size of the pillow, which can be 40x40, 50x50, 40x70 cm, taking into account the allowances for the seams; Two other details - centimeters by 10-12 wider.

How to sew
- On the main part from the front side, if you wish, sew your pocket, or appliqué, or another decor.
- Each of the two wide parts of the lower part, we strip from one edge to 1 cm.
- We fold the billets of the top and bottom of the pillow with each other inwards as follows: put one wide bottom blank on the top item, aligning the edges on the left, then put onto the peaks of another wide billet, aligning the edges on the right.
- We rock parts by pins.
- We flash throughout the perimeter at a distance of 0.7-1 cm for a typewriter. Do not forget to insert the needle need size, because you have to sew a thick layer of fabric.
- Cut corners.
- Soak on the face, smoothed iron.
It remains to wear this pillowcase from jeans on a small sofa pillow.
If for some reason the densite width is not enough, then you can carve a pillow of several parts.
If the parts are not sewing the face, but inside the inside, then the interesting shaggy edge will turn out. Already after the pillow is sewn, the needle needs to remove several yarns of the duck.
Patchwork jeans pillows: Photo
If you wish, you can cut a denim tissue into small or large squares, strips and sew patchwork pillows. At the same time, at least two pairs of jeans of different shade will be required.
Squares first cross in pairs in the stripes, the seams are ironing, and then the bands are compared among themselves, following the seams coincide.
In the pillow from the bands, you can make a double line along the seams, it will create a special effect.
Very interesting jeans pillows will look in combination with a different thin cloth and lace, as well as they can be embraceed in the style of Sashiko.
Here, of course, it will be necessary for the skill and skills of patchwork sewing.

- We select 5 jeans units so that the bands we have a different tone, cut them into two halves.
- On each of the part along the wrong side, the parallel strips of approximately 5 cm wide and about 60 cm long.
- You need to cut 4 stripes of each color.
- We cross the stripes among themselves, each time the edge of the edge is 3.5 cm. We start with dark color and sew the strips on the tone lighter.
One half of the bands are stated with the displacement on the left, and the other - with the displacement of the right.
- Stroke all seams with iron.
- With the help of a triangle, the diameters crosslied with an inclination at 45 degrees at a distance of 8-9 cm.
- We cut over these lines, and then sew them, alternating stripes with a displacement in different directions. Watch all the seams coincide.
- The resulting facial part is sewn from the bottom half of the pillow from some fabric.
Creative ideas
Original, unusual ideas I found on foreign sites, while sewing the pillows is quite simple.
In these embodiments, the pillow on the pillow sew from extra, preferably, one-photon fabric, for example, from canvas.
And denim parts are coiled on top of the front side of the pillowcase.
These details can be pockets, intertwined denim strips, mugs, hearts, hexagons, carved from gin and others.
Denim hexagons pillow

We prepare pieces of 30 hexagons - cut them out of the old jeans of different shades.
Template in front of you.
We still need to carve three parts for a canvas cover, as well as for the above-described pillows.
- With the help of special glue for needlework, glue the hexagons on the fabric, placing them in a checker order and combining the color in order to create the effect of ombré - the transition from light to a dark tone. Hexagons should not be placed close, but at some distance from each other.
- Then add them to the fabric.
- We prepare the bottom of the pillow and sew it from the top of the envelope type.

Pleated jeans pillow
On this site: http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2019/02/pleated-ruffle-pillow-with-denim.html I saw an unusual pillow of pleated denim tape. The harsh denim tissue and romantic folds compensate carefully and complement each other, according to the author.
I do not know whether we sell such in stores, but you can do it yourself.
In case of manufacture with your own hands: Cut the strips with a length of three times more than the width of the pillow, we make folds one by one, bonding them in the center of the needle with a thread. The edges do not need to process.
We have pleated strips with a sideproof on the fabric, we spawn the pins and sew, causing the central line.
We sew the resulting part of the pillow with the details of the bottom.
Options for pillows from jeans that can be sewed with their own hands using old clothes, many more can be invented by connecting fantasy and reviewing the photo on the Internet. What did you like?
