Recycling has become the rage, and denim is at the top of the list. What can be more fun than having a pillow that reminds you of special times when you wore those jeans? The pockets are already stitched, so there is no need to worry about that detail. Add an additional pocket for book or magazine storage. Add a ruffle around the edge using the narrow-rolled hem. Differential feed takes care of the gathers. Stitch a zipper in the back for easy washing. All this is completed on the serger.

Kit/handout Fee: $15 (Paid to the teacher in the classroom).
Kit includes: Zipper, fabric for ruffle, and instructions

Student supply list:
1 or 2 pairs of jeans. Their size determines the size of the pillow.
