I am so grateful for the generosity of those who donate jeans. Lance Haggith approached me at Bromham show, offering more jeans. These turned out to be jeans passed on to him by Trading Standards, having been confiscated by them as imitation designer items. This is the latest batch, soon to be cutup and recreated.
Despite being imitation, these are very good quality, and brand new - a delight to work with.
This blog shows my recycled denim creations, along with tutorials for items I have designed myself. I collect old jeans (a strange collection, I know!) and cut them up to make bags, purses, animals and other items of varying sizes and shapes. I then sell these to raise money for weomen and children in the town of Utange, near Mombasa, in Kenya. I help women to set up their own businesses and am supporting the building of a new school for disabled children.
