Injeanuity

Cover Art - Injeanuity - Denim Jeans Crafts Book for Kids and TeensKids Can Press
With lively illustrations and step-by-step directions, along with color photographs of finished projects, Injeanuity will inspire ‘tween and teen girls. As the subtitle of Injeanuity suggest, “Dull denims and your inJeanuity = some pretty cool stuff!” Dress up old jeans with decorated cuffs, special inserts, or waistbands. Turn wornout jeans into a shirt or halter. Make denim accessories like a pair of slippers, a book cover, handbag, pillow, or footstool.

The colorful sketches by Bernice Lum and the step-by-step directions by Ellen Warwick make the instructions a snap to follow. The color photos of each project provide excellent motivation for doing them.

In addition to the directions for seventeen projects, you’ll also find general instructions on sewing, tips on sewing with denim, and a section on embroidery. This 80-page Planet Girl book has a sturdy hard cover and is spiral bound so it will lay flat when you are working on the projects. Compare prices. (Kids Can Press, 2006. ISBN: 1553376811)
