    Can jeans be turned into a denim shirt?
    Community Answer
    Denim you wear on the bottom half of your body is different than chambray, which is a denim-like material most "jean" shirts are made of. The denim of your jeans is likely too stiff to be worn as a shirt, and there would likely not be enough fabric for the body of the shirt. You could sew a pocket made from the denim of your jeans on a shirt though.

    Make a patchwork doll. Usually hand sewn, take scraps of fabric from your clothes, and sew a doll. You could make a patchwork stuffed animal, or anything sew-able (but not necessarily toys) such as quilts and pillow shams.

    You could try to make a teddy beat with it. Try to line up the stains at the front of the bear, then draw with a marker a little heart or other shapes on top of the stain. Or you can cut out strips from the shirt and weave them to make bracelets. Or you can just use them as rags.
