I just wanted to say, in case you didn’t know, that E-6000 can glue a patch of denim to a pair of jeans well enough to survive the washing machine and heavy use.

I cut up one old pair of jeans to patch several other old pairs of jeans. One bead of glue around the edge of the patch, one bead around the edge of the hole I’m patching. Some wax paper made sure I only glued what I wanted to glue, and a stack of books on top of the patch for a few days let it cure in place.

They’ve survived several months of regular washing, as well as working outside with no issues.

    it’s not only about sewing

    The focus is on reducing waste, whether that be sewing from the scraps left from other projects, using the end of rolls and remnants, or repairing and remaking finished pieces.

      Oh, well then this project fits perfectly. The whole point was to stop throwing out jeans and buying more just to send them through the shredder of outdoor work. Nice!
