Synopsis

Designed to help you extend the life of well-worn jeans, this book brings together straightforward repair methods alongside more inventive repurposing projects. Techniques range from patching and visible mending to reworking denim into a new style, or cutting it down to create an entirely different garment or accessory.

Projects include ideas such as a tote bag, a bucket hat, or a refreshed cut for your trousers, with Hanna’s designs encouraging a more considered approach to keeping good denim out of landfill. A useful choice for makers interested in hands-on sewing and creative reuse.
