Give your fabric scraps a fresh purpose with this clever upcycling sewing project! Turn leftover bits into a unique, woven-look fabric by combining patchwork squares and folded denim strips. Start by ironing your fabric squares onto interfacing to create a colorful grid. Then weave in long, folded strips of denim (with raw edges tucked in) to add texture and strength. Stitch everything down to secure and hide raw edges. The result? A beautifully textured piece of fabric you can turn into anything – pillow covers, zipper pouches, placemats, or even a mini quilt! It’s beginner-friendly, fun, and a brilliant way to reduce waste while creating something gorgeous.
More sewing fun to inspire your next project! Turn old denim into a cute DIY embellished coin purse – stylish and sustainable. Got a tired chair or bench? Give it new life by recovering the seat with recycled denim for a cool, one-of-a-kind look. And don’t miss the free bento bag pattern with handles – it’s super cute and practical!
