The (Organic) Jeans That Never Die!

These are my Loomstate Organic Ethos Jeans that I bought about 3 years ago, they are my most favorite organic denim eva' in the whole world and they keep falling apart on me!!! Literally, I will go out wearing them and some spot (usually the knee or ass) will suddenly rip on them - like while showing girls at a party how to do the New Orleans Pop (upside down)... or the time I dismounted someone's scooter and heard a rip... or when a giant hole appears after I take them off at the end of the day and wonder how long I walked around like that. I can't stop patching them back together! And you know what, I think that this look is in style now - check out this video, when they get to dancing in the desert sand ( at 1:15)...Mmmhmmm. Looks like my adorable mess of jeans. :)

Retired Jeans Revival


There are so many things we can do to upcycle our old jeans, ugly thrift jeans, or your partner's jeans you secretly want to cut up! And these project ideas don't always have to look like something only a tween could love (no offense tweens cause you will love these ideas here too!)
Try a few of these projects on:
**DIY: Upcycle Old Jeans Into A Sexy Mini - this instructional will inspire you to make those funky out of style jeans into a brand new sexy mini skirt!
**DIY: How to Save Your Favorite Jeans - always wanted to know how to patch that hole, and keep your dream jeans alive... this will tell you how.
**What Can You Do With Jeans? There's a plethora of ideas out there for jeans, including making your own i-pod case and organizer.

Right now I am working on a BYOB jean project, made from the left over legs of the jeans I cut to make the upcycle denim mini skirts :)
What have you done with your old jeans, if you have any stories please share!!!
