These started as a rescued pair of Calvin Klein jeans~waist 34” Length 32”~ I bleached them in a speckled drop pattern then dyed them yellow giving them a green look. I took pieces of a very damaged vintage quilt and tea dyed them and appliquéd on the jeans in various areas then added a decorative kantha stitch. I also used thrifted fabric scraps, vintage lace, doilies and even a couple frog cutouts to appliqué. See the photos for all the goodies with lots of history transformed into a trendy pair of patchwork boho style jeans!

Ideal for those who appreciate art and hippie fashion, these distressed jeans showcase American craftsmanship and individuality.
