Great tutorial, and a fantastic way to upcycle. I don't wear jeans, but I do have some leftover fabrics that I think will work. Adding this to my "crafts I might actually try someday" playlist for future reference 🙂

Amazing idea of reusing old pairs of jeans. I’m more interested in this because it looks sturdy and I want to make one for my cat.

This is one of the BEST tutorials I've ever seen, your instructions are clear, concise and the speed you crochet allows us to really see what and how you make this basket. Thank you ! 👏👏👏💜 p.s. wonderful MUSIC!

I used to love working with denim; I made a bag out of old jeans when I was 15; I got so many compliments on it! Thank you for another idea to recycle and make a beautiful piece of art at the same time!

This has probably been a thing for a very long time, but a couple of decades ago i thought of using this method on my own after trying to figure out how some rag rugs were made, which i now know are weaved on a loom. Makes lovely rugs.

This is adorable! I am thinking of making a lid for the basket in the same manner. That would be so cute. 😊

Love this, I make baskets out of pine needles, another way to recycle. These are beautiful. Thanks for another medium to use for baskets!

I’ve wanted so badly to do the pine needle basket thing, but its so small and fiddly, i think it might give me a nervous breakdown lol! Not to mention my pup would surely eat it, she thinks that anything that comes from outside is fair game, but she's a real pine connoisseur 🤣

Thanks for this tutorial. I also appreciate all the examples of different variations at the end. Using different colors of yarn (or a color-changing yarn) produces a very attractive result.

Awesome video. Very well thought out and demonstrated. Thank you for sharing your handiwork. I have been wanting to make fabric coiled baskets out of recycled fabric, especially jeans. Lovely sweet helper, Ophelia! 💕

I have been storing jeans fabric left overs for years and this is definitely something i am going to try. Thanks for sharing!

This is so clever. And beautiful. Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

Recycling: a creative hobby and a useful product. Fantastic! You remind me of my Gram! (Maternal Grandmother). I am tired of the current circumstances where no matter what you pay for products they expire too soon! .... only last a month, a year, for two years or five at best! ....trying to PLUS SELL short term product protection at time of purchase. Our systems are broken and need to change! ... all systems need to change! We must be part of the change. The couch is comfortable, but things will only get worse if we continue to do nothing. Products once serviced users. Now we serve the products’ producers. We are slaves! Work to acquire...leads to work to live... in some cases leads to no work... at any stressful stage leads to illness... early death for some ... and more with each generation. We have choices! Some of the products that were produced before I was born continue to do what they were designed for ....with regular maintenance and replacement parts. I embrace NECESSARY change ... but I cannot accept or endorse the production of goods and services that misuse resources and are not upgradable, waste precious resources and end up in landfill ... the creators of today continue to make money in our artificial systems .... we are slaves to these producers .... We have never be truly free. Some of us have benefited from the illusion of being free. THERE are MORE of US then there are of THEM!!! Yet WE DO NOTHING! We watch the corruption, are directly and indirectly affected by it yet we do nothing... ??? We deserve what we pursue. We are reaping it now. We have CHOICES! We can be compliant, we can be tech zombies, and continue to be slaves to this system .... or any other system... ..... OR WE CAN BE PART OF THE CHANGE. There are prices to be paid. YES, and they do not have to be radical! Like CANCER TREATMENT, we do not need to kill all the cells with chemotherapy to have change...we can have targeted change .... like a laser. We all have choices. Choose with your dollars, your voice, your support, your humanity and with investment in the future of our children. They deserve better lives not empty dreams and promises like that of white picket fences that have been baited and switched! Instead of being a cancer to each other and the world we can be the pursuers of change that benefits most instead of a few!

One of the first quilts I made was blocks joined together with crochet. Looked so good. This reminds of it.

Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing, very well explained and demonstrated. I can‘t wait to try ist myself!

Love the snail shell look in the beginning of the project and love the finished piece.

I'm blown away😮 just think I know all the stitches 🎉ty ty for sharing❤I will start making them as gifts and craft shows❤️

Super well taught. Very meditative too. I will love trying this. Thanks

Great idea! I have a bunch of heavy material (upholstery, corduroy, etc) that will be ideal for this type of project! Guess what I'm going to be making this year for Christmas gifts? Thanks bunches for sharing!!! ☺️💞

What a wonderful tutorial. So clear. Such careful demonstration. Thank you.

Much love to you, nice to see this video. I’m losing mobility in my fingers and I hope that doing crafts like this at my own pace, might help. Thanks for making this thorough tutorial! I’ll be able to follow this and make my own basket.

Wonderful idea and I love the trick with the yarn-tube !!! 🙂

Beautiful - and the first of this kind I've seen that doesn't require a sewing machine.

Love your baskets and your techniques. Thank you for sharing your talents and ideas.

Great video. And beautiful music. Thank you!

I never knew you could make baskets by crocheting! this will make alot of things easier

I love your work & the choice of music. ❤

Thank you for this detailed tutorial; the possibilities are endless of colors and different things that can be crafted with this technique🧵✂️ 🙋🏼‍♀️

My hands hurt watching you! But I’m still going to give it a try! I love them. And you are a great teacher!

Obsessed with this video. Two months in and I still think about and use this technique ❤

The making of the ripped strips. 😮I love it. I am definitely going to be making THESE❤❤❤

I love your work! And the guitar music! Thank you. Greetings from Argentina.

These are lovely and they look easy to make. This is a great idea 💡. Thank you ❣️

What a beautiful way to create a basket! ❤

Thank you for making this video, as watching you work this and the music, just soothed my soul!❤

For the number of repeats, what works well for me is : row 1 ->6 repeats. Row 2->2repeats in each bridge (double). Row 3->1 double, then 1 repeat in one(single). Row 4->1 double, 2 singles. Row 5->1 double, 3 singles. Row 6->1 double, 4 singles. And you just go on adding one single for each row. (Not sure if it makes sense how I've written, but yeah XD)

Very cool! The jeans I've outgrown can live on!

I am really surprised! For sure I will try. Thank for share this beautiful technique. Also I love the music, remind me of the melancholy of Mexican charros.

Que lindo!! Me inspirou! Estava procurando algo e encontrei!! Obrigada 🇧🇷

Very nice idea I crochet with plastic twine and it makes baskets sturdy

Beautiful job! Congratulation! 😊❤

Thank you. I really like this.

Really lovely!

I've even made an oversized handbag out of an old robe..with the pocket on the front. With a beautiful cross..and extra robe material made the shoulder strap.

I have done this with paper cord & denim, but this looks like a much cleaner finish. TY

Thankyou...useful, and very clear. 🙂👍
