Let’s not even talk about where November went…but now it’s time to think about January’s challenge and we have a fantastic classic to kick us off!
Denim never goes out of style, right?
From the classic jean…

To denim skirts!

I’m making small fry skinny jeans at the moment (Titchy Threads pattern). Then swiftly on to the Jagger Jeans by Madeit Patterns.

I’m all about denim, if I could live in it I would! I see some re-fashions coming in Jan!

Brilliant! I have TWO lots of denim in my stash, for some jeans/cigarette pants, and for shorts. And with the weather we’re having (31 degrees today!) I’d better get onto those shorts

My first challenge! I have some denim in my stash so thinking of making shorts. Not entirely weather appropriate for January but I think that it’s all I can squeeze out of this fabric (dark denim with some stretch). Now to find a pattern… any suggestions?

Oh yeah. I haven’t done any TMS challenges for a while, but what to do you know – you must have read my mind, cause next on the sewing table is tackling the jean/pant and conquer!

Sounds great. Does chambray qualify as denim?

Technically speaking they are different types of fabric: http://propercloth.com/reference/chambray-vs-denim/ but if you want to push the challenge, perhaps you can sew something in Chambray but add details that you would find on a denim item, like double top stitching, pockets or buttons?

A question for the hosts and fellow contributors – what are your thoughts on remaking a pair of jeans into another garment? Do you think this would be ok for this challenge?

How lovely to open this post and see my denim skirt! Thanks for fanning the flickering flame of my egotism! And, yeah, make denim pants or skirts. What else is as likely to get worn so much and to go with everything?
