@flowcharts Are all of those patches sewn on top of the old fabric? Or are they separate pieces attached only to each other?

 

[flowcharts]

@Spehsmonkey the majority are sewn onto the original denim. I did end up having to create some extra fabric for a seam allowance where the original denim meets the patchwork on the front, so that bottom section is mostly 1 layer. There are also a few spots that are 3-4 layers thick that I'm trying to figure out how to best distress/showcase in more of a traditional boro style.

I'm really enjoying seeing the progress on this project, and I'm inspired to try something similar.

Any chance you could post some pics of the whole jeans? Any tips for a newb....?

@malcb33 yeah I'll try to post some tomorrow.

Did some simple modifications to my Solovairs last night:

• Cut the heel tags off
• Blacked out the grey stitching
• Also blacked out the grey exposed leather edges

I have a pair of Birkenstock Maines that I’ve resoled three times in the last 2 years. I’m thinking of attempting to go with a heavier sole. Vibram ripple sole, Kletterlift? Will I be able to glue these down and trim the excess?

Cola you do some pretty clean work, it’s not really my style but good job. Maybe look up some old Dries/Missoni for inspiration. Dries usually seems to have a bit more freedom with womenswear but he did a recent collab with Cabana magazine haven’t checked it out but wouldn’t be surprised if it was good.
