The new project: doggie bed

So, as a thrifty crafter. I conceived this idea of making a doggie bed for my Maggie. Obviously I can't use normal cotton fabric because she'll just tear it up. Thus, I wanted to use denim. The first place I went is not my local fabric store, but my local thrift store. I ended up with a pile of dark, light, and colored denim jeans.

then I studiously deconstructed the jeans and cut them into stripes that are 6in in width. Did that mainly because it's the width of my ruler and it's easier.

i'm about to sew the stripes into the top and bottom sides of a 36x24x2 bed. Stay tuned for an update.
