Denim Origins

Denim Origins

1. Charity Shops

   • It is likely that very large pairs of jeans could be found in charity shops, these would be good for the project as they provide plenty of fabric

2. Auction site

   • Ebay
   • Other sites such as Amazon also have a second hand sales service

3. Friends, family, my own warddrobe

   • I have a pair of jeans with a broken zip. These will be too small to use for the whole project, however I could use the design features such as pockets and the button.
   • I could get an old pair of jeans from a family member or friend

4. Clothing exchanges

   • Shwopping
     • Shwopping is a scheme set up by Oxfam and Marks and Spender where you can take any Marks and Spencer clothing to an Oxfam shop and get a Marks and Spencer voucher
   • Doing a clothing exchange with some friends and family would be a good way of getting denim for the project at the same time as getting rid of some old clothes and giving them a new home

5. Car boot/ jumble sale

   • Many people sell clothing at car boot and jumble sales
     • You could get a good deal at a car boot or jumble sale
