The first step is to prepare a huge amount of old jeans: shirts, vests, jeans. Also stock up on a lot of old cotton shirts, sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers.

Wash all items, then iron them.

Cut clothes into strips along the seams nd then we cut out the details. You can also use an old sheet as a lining.

Cut things into squares. On a bedspread of 180 by two hundred cm in size you will need: one hundred and twenty squares 12 * 12 cm in size, also cut 120 strips of natural fabric, of different sizes - the width should be 60 - 2.5 cm, and the other half two cm.

Half length is 14.5 cm, 25% - 12 cm, the remaining parts 16.5 cm.

According to the size of the piles, we distribute shreds of fabric.

Sew the denim with the shortest strip, we lay the machine line at a distance of half a cm. Iron this seam with an iron. After each new line it will be necessary to iron the fabric.

Sew a cotton flap to the right or left side. After this, we sew a new patchwork strip from the bottom.

Sew the flap on the right with the next step. At the same time, do not forget to iron the seams every time.

You should get one hundred and twenty blankets from old jeans. We sew each detail together.

Lay out old clothes on the floor to understand what the future blanket will look like, and how to properly lay out the blanks.

You can alternate the shades in a checkerboard pattern, or lay out the dark colors in the middle, and light at the edges.

And you can make a gradual transition from dark to light tones from top to bottom, or from the upper right to the lower left.
connect parts in pairs in strips.

After that, finished strips are sewn together. You can pre-chop them with pins. Do not move the squares!

After this, sew a frill, for this do not use shreds, it is better to use a cloth.

Cut out four stripes from it.

Sew the strip first from the narrow side of the bedspread, then sew on the second side, and then and so on.

On a sewing machine zgzag over the seams. Then you can sew on the lining of the old fabric.

The size of the lining is the size of the bedspread.

First, pin off both parts, and then lay the machine line.
