You Will Need (4 things)
- 4 rectangles of Denim
- 4 rectangles of Batting
- Fabric Scraps
- Denim Needle
Steps (11 steps, 90 minutes)
-
1
I used an old pair of my husband's jeans to make 4 rectangular scraps.
-
2
I cut two equally sized scraps of batting.
-
3
I cut my shapes out of some random scraps I have lying around.
-
4
I placed the shapes on the denim where I needed them to be. Be sure to position them around the 1/4 inch seam so that they don't get caught during sewing.

5
Pin and Sew

6
Placement for sewing: Batting, denim right side up, denim right side down. Make certain that all of your edges are lined up. Missing an edge is so very annoying!
-
7
Sew around the edge in a basting stitch, making certain to backstitch at the beginning and end. Leave on end open for turning.
-
8
Gently turn it right side out.
-
9
Top stitch around, folding under the edge you left open for turning.
-
10
Stack the two pages on top of each other and sew straight down the middle, being careful to catch both pages. Use a denim needle since you are essentially stitching through 4 layers of denim and 2 layers of batting. It's rather thick.
