I took all of my son's old jeans he did not fit or want and cut 9X9 inch blocks and sewed them in strips.  Some have embroidery images (Tupac/Mad Basketball/Angry Birds etc.).

Patchwork is Sew Sew 70s

Denim Patchwork Bodycon Dress

Materials: Denim Jeans and leather jackets

I cut 9X9" squares from old jeans I had lying around the house.  I also had a few old leather jackets that I cut and tossed in for good measure.

I measured the circumference of my upper chest, breast and hips.

I then sewed the squares across in strips using quilters 1/4".

I attached the strips by row the length I desired using the same 1/4" seam allowance.

I added a "22 inch metal zipper (exposed) in the back.

I didn't hem the top or bottom so the dress has a slight frayed look.
