This is my updated video about how I cut up old jeans to make denim quilts. I cut the way I do to maximise the amount of fabric I get from a pair of jeans and to save and preserve the bits of the jeans I don’t want so I can sell or give them to another crafter who can use them for fun upcycling projects!
