Recycled Blue Jean Vest Tutorial
Materials Needed:
1 pair of blue jeans

STEP 1:
Determine how long you want your vest and cut legs of jeans off accordingly; rip open crotch, center back seam and remove zipper in front opening.

STEP 2:
Trim all edges even, eliminating excess fabric in zipper and crotch areas. Stitch center back seam and shoulder seams of vest. Cut out armholes to fit.

STEP 3:
Apply bias binding to all seams, edges of front opening and armholes. Apply decorative items of your choice to front, back and pockets.
