Tutorial: Recycled denim jeans dress

Megan Nielsen made this sleeveless dress entirely from old jeans! She used several pairs of jeans from her husband’s closet, all with different washes so they would create a beautiful design when pieced. She shares a tutorial at Makery showing how she adapted a basic woven tank pattern to make the color blocked dress from recycled denim.
