Claire from Pillar Box Blue shows how you can make an Advent calendar out of recycled jeans. More specifically, recycled jeans pockets. It’s easy to make – and there’s no sewing required! You can put it all together with fusible hem tape and fabric glule. Or, you could use a sewing machine and it would still be an easy sewing project.
