    Finished my first big project a frayed patchwork denim blanket.

    It still needs a bit more fraying, but I like it, it will make a super winter blanket.

    That's gorgeous ViksB, I really want to do one of those. I've got a lot of old denim but a lot of it is stretch denim, do you think that will work ok?

    If I was to do it again - and I may just do that, then I wouldn't use any stretch denim, mine is about 40% stretch denim, but it does work just not quite as well and it does take more fraying to make it look fluffy.

    Very nice Vicksb, that will certainly keep you warm. A good way to use up old jeans :):)

    Just thought I'd bump the thread. Have not done any sewing this week, really need to tidy up my sewing corner. Hope you have all been sewing away happily.:wave:

    Shocking weather isn't it? But every cloud has a silver lining, as this weekend will be fit for nothing but sewing! I will be focussing on some summer threads for my holiday in September ...
