Mending-Ashley Burbano

I decided to mend a pair of jeans I have been constructing.

 

I took five pairs of old jeans that no longer fit me and I was originally planning on throwing away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I cut them up into smaller squares and creates four pieces of patchwork

 

 

 

I then traced the outline of another pair of jeans I had and created a template to make the new pair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After trying them on I realized it fit too loose on the waistband. I then tried cutting and resewing this area. I ended up cutting too much off so I then added a dark blue patch on both sides.

 

 

 

I added switching across it, to make the transition smoother.

   

 

These are the final pair.
