DIY Denim Banner from Upcycled Jeans: a fun scrap project

Cucicucicoo shows you how to turn old jeans into a charming denim banner. The flags are sewn so a soft white fringe forms along the bottom after the first wash, a beginner-friendly way to use up worn denim.

Upcycling denim is one of my favourite ways to sew something useful for next to nothing. This banner is a great first project for getting comfortable sewing through thicker seams.
