Introduction:

As a symbol of American culture, denim, is amazingly versatile. It can be repaired, altered, embroidered and personalized. You can embellish and or stitch things on to it or rip it up. It is adaptable. You can make a statement without saying a word. Denim can make you distinctive. In fact by wearing denim, you can be whatever you want: feminine, youthful, a groupie, rustic, a leader or just plain hip.

This book introduces many different techniques for deconstruction and repurposing your denim wardrobe.. By using simple techniques easy enough for any level seamstress, you can redesign traditional denim pieces that you will enjoy in your everyday lifestyle.

 

Author  Amy BarickmanAbout the Author

Amy Barickman is a leader in the sewing and craft pattern design industry. After graduating from the University of Kansas with a degree in art and design, she founded Indygo Junction in 1990 to publish and market books and patterns designed by fresh, new talent. Amy's vision for anticipating popular trends has led her to discover artists and guide them to create with innovative materials and tools.

As technology improved she envisioned what crafters might accomplish with their home computer and printer. She founded The Vintage Workshop in 2002 to create products that combine timeless vintage artwork with the computer and inkjet printable materials using downloads from her website and CDs.

To date Amy has identified and marketed more than 25 designers and published 600 pattern titles and 70 books, including her recent releases Indygo Junction's Needle Felting and The Vintage Workshop's Art-to-Wear. She inspires countless crafters to open their own creative spirit and experiment with the newest sewing, fabric and crafting techniques.

Barickman's work has been featured in several magazines including a recent honor as one of Country Living's 2007 Women Entrepreneurs Celebration of Creativity. She has made television appearances on HGTV, America Quilts and Sewing with Nancy.
