Old denim jeans just keep on going, and are perfect for upcycling into new things to wear as well as crafting.
The foundation piece in these kits is an offcut from jeans that were cut down into summer shorts

Full description
True blue jeans with pretty pinks is such a fresh combination. Here I've offset rose pink with a darker cerise, and added lots of cotton crochet lace in creams and light tans. There's a rich variety of textures, from the roughness of the vintage wool blanket to the silky shine of the velvet ribbon.
The A5 box has over 30 remnants of vintage or salvaged fabrics and embellishments that can be snipped and sewn to the blue denim foundation piece, with lots left over for another project.
Exact items will vary, but includes:
- blue denim jeans (foundation piece)
- vintage Welsh wool blanket
- cotton-linen floral print
- striped cotton print
- floral cotton prints
- cream lace collar
- tan and pink motif from crocheted doiley
- cotton lace
- vintage lace ribbon
- velvet ribbon
- upholstery braid
- hand dyed linen yarn
- tapestry wool
- fluffy yarns
- buttons (will vary)
- embroidery threads
- reel or bobbin of of sewing thread
- sewing needle, secured in a scrap of antique Welsh quilt
- extras not pictured and will vary in each individual box
Slow stitching is about taking your time to decide where you want to place your fabrics onto the foundation fabric, and then slowly stitching them on. There are no "instructions" as it's about your creativity, but I'll pop in a note with easy ideas and online links to get you started.
Due to their age, vintage or reclaimed items may be marked, discoloured or slightly torn.
