Turn worn out jeans into wrist bands like these.

Do you love to sew?

Or would you like to learn and at the same time make yourself a jazzy, snazzy Jeanie wrist band like the ones Janene makes?

It’s very easy.

Janene will provide you with your wrist band template sewn from upcycled jeans fabric. Then step by step she’ll show you how to compose your own wrist band designs. Using your imagination and creativity, you’ll learn some sewing stitches to add and hold together all sorts of embellishments, including special statement words and decorations such as beads, buttons, lace and embroidery.

Once complete you can wear your Jeanie as an accessory anytime, with any clothing, casually or on special occasions.

You can make Jeanies like these.
