Project DIY – Denim
Summer and denim go together like no other. Whether it’s a pair of cut-offs or a cute little denim vest, anything jean related is totally welcome when the temps get hot. This Project DIY is all about denim. Take a peek at these awesome do-it-yourself projects and be prepared to be inspired!
Megan from T f Diaries created these adorable scalloped shorts.
Merrick from Merrick’s Art used a basic pair of jeans and turned them into skinnies. (She seriously works magic with her sewing machine!)
Beck over at Oomph used an old pair of jeans and an old belt to create some pretty hot shorts!
Anna from at In Honor of Design used a denim jacket and turned it into a vest…with cargo pockets!
I took an old denim jacket and did a little something-something to make the sleeves look like leather.
And here’s a favorite of mine from the archives!
Did you have a favorite project? I loved how each of these ladies (btw…they’re all mamas!!) used something old from their closets and refashioned it into something so trendy. Make sure you stop by their blogs for the how-tos…and to see more of their amazing styles!
Interested in being a part of next months Project DIY? Send me an email or check back on August 15 for the next “assignment.”
Linked with Real Girl Glam and WIWW!
Love the scalloped shorts, and your faux-leather sleeves! So sorry I missed this one, I’ll try for next month’s project.

Love Denim DIYs, so far I’ve only made an owl toy for a little girl I used to babysit, but I have an awesome denim dress project coming up
Good luck with your project! Denim is a fun material to work with!
Thank you, it is
I have at least a dozen old jeans that I am meaning to bring back to life. These are some GREAT ideas!! Now if I could just find the time…
We can do it on a Sunday if you want!
!!!!! Gives me a great excuse to sort through them, lol!

These DIY are amazing! I need some inspiration to start some.. not sure if I will be as qualified as these but I can start small.

Hi April! Thanks for swinging by my blog and commenting. I’m happy I found yours in return, and your blog name made me laugh out loud.
This is such a great collection of denim DIY projects! I just bought a sewing machine and am (very slowly) teaching myself how to use it – I’m going to start with some simple panel curtains, but hope to move onto clothing at some point. I’ll definitely be using your blog as a reference!
Thanks for stopping by! My husband takes all the credit for the blog name! Good luck with that sewing machine…curtains seem like a great way to get started!
People are so super creative, I so am not lol
