How funny to come across this today. I just turned an old pair of jeans that were freecycled to me into a pretty cool skirt. Found the tutorial on simplicity.com
I make braided rugs with old bluejean strips. I make the strips about 1″ wide, then sort the colors-light, medium, dark-then with each pile I sew the strips together similar to the way one does border corners on a quilt. Once sewn I roll them into a ball. With one end of each ball I sew them together side by side, each strip folded with raw edges in and clamp to plant hanger hook and start braiding. Once its all braided then I lay it on the floor and, using carpet thread I sew to form an oval or circular rug.
