WANTED denim pieces
« on: March 02, 2021, 11:25:04 AM »
Letting out some jeans for a man who has put on weight with chemo.  I need pieces to let out the sides so he can  wear them a couple of more years.  First pair is darkish stretch Wranglers but there will be others. If anyone has jeans that are going into the bin, I could use the good bits.  Will pay p&p of course.

@toileandtrouble i have some pieces of denim left over from dresses i have made but none of it has stretch.
I have black with white pinstripe and 8oz washed denim in medium and dark bought from here as well as brown/orange and some dark with a sort of straited effect.
You are more than welcome to some of it if it will be useful.

Thank  you so much.  I need 2 pieces about 10cm wide 25cm long, plus a bit to extend the belt so about 12cm square if possible. Is there enough for that?  Could I have bits of the darks and medium plain if possible?  There will be other pairs but have not got them yet. I will pm my address, please let me know what you want for them and don't forget the postage. Vicky

Black stretch ( rescued from DD jeans ) 2 pieces 6"*18" ish
Lighter weight rigid indigo 9"*13"
Mid weight stretch indigo 2 pieces 8"*8" ish
Light weight stretch black, offcuts from making jeans for myself, larger pieces

If you're interested, let me know, I'll work out postage.

Thank you, they all look useful.  It is not likely  I will get perfect matches but something that will not stand out too much. Let me know the cost and pm me your paypal details.

What about a contrast, something jazzy for the insert panel? Could make a matching hanky
