Did you know that the average American owns seven pairs of jeans? And odds are some of those jeans aren’t wearable. But if you just can’t bear to get rid of your jeans, you can turn them into a denim quilt.

Denim quilts are a fantastic way to reuse your old jeans, especially if you can’t wear them anymore. If you want to refresh your denim collection, you should make a denim quilt.

A NEW WAY TO QUILT?

If you’re a denim fanatic, you probably have a vast collection of jeans and other denim items in your closet. And some of those items might even be a bit too worn out to wear.

Luckily, you don’t have to purge your old jeans once you can’t wear them. Instead, you can turn them into a denim quilt.

That’s right. You can repurpose your old denim into a new blanket. Anyone can make a denim quilt, and it’s pretty easy to do.

Of course, you need sewing supplies, but it doesn’t take an expert to turn old blue jeans into a refurbished denim quilt.

WHAT IS A DENIM QUILT?

A quilt is a type of blanket that has different squares or other shapes sewn together to form a blanket. You can use almost any fabric to make a quilt. So, a denim quilt is a quilt where denim is one of the main fabrics.

A denim quilt is the perfect project for anyone who loves denim.

WHY SHOULD YOU USE DENIM FOR A QUILT?

If you’re a long-time jeans wearer, odds are you have at least one pair of jeans you never wear but refuse to part with. Like other clothes, jeans can hold a special place in our hearts. It can be hard to get rid of something with such fond memories.

Reusing denim for a quilt can keep those memories alive while freeing up space in your closet for new jeans.

Aside from the sentimental benefits, denim has some advantageous attributes. First, denim is durable and long-lasting. Also, denim doesn’t snag like some other fabrics.

Making a denim quilt from your old jeans can save you money on fabric, too. You may need to buy some new denim to fill out your quilt, but you don’t have to start from scratch.

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

It’s the phrase we’ve all heard many times. Reduce, reuse, and recycle. If you have many pairs of old jeans, making a denim quilt is an excellent way to cut down on waste.

You don’t have to feel guilty about tossing your unwearable jeans, and you can make a new quilt in the process.

What’s more, making a denim quilt is surprisingly easy. You can do it at home, and you can find any tools you need at a craft store or online.

HANDY AT HOME

If you’re looking for a new hobby, quilting could be for you. But even if you just want to do a one-off craft project, making a denim quilt is great.

You don’t need a ton of supplies to get started, and you may even have most of the supplies already. All you need to make a denim quilt is denim, a sewing machine, a needle, and thread.

Of course, you can go a little crazy with other fabric and accessories. But a simple denim quilt is easy, even for beginners.

OLD JEANS, NEW QUILT

There are many reasons why you should consider using old jeans to make a denim quilt. First, as we already mentioned, you can save money on fabric.

Second, you probably know that denim can be very soft and comfortable. While it may not be the perfect fabric for a blanket, it’s close.

And like it or not, we make a lot of waste. Turning your old jeans into a new quilt can reduce your waste in a couple of ways. You won’t have to toss your jeans, and you also won’t have to buy extra fabric.

Another reason for using jeans to make a denim quilt is that you can make a quilt that’s unique to you. No one else has worn the same pair of jeans just like you have.

When making a denim quilt, you can even combine the denim with other fabrics. You can also cut your denim into different shapes to create a one-of-a-kind quilt.

HOW TO MAKE A DENIM QUILT

So you want to bring new life to your favorite pair of old jeans. They’re tearing at the seams, or maybe they just don’t fit you anymore.

Instead of tossing or donating your jeans, you decide to use them for a denim quilt. You need another blanket anyway, so it makes sense to kill two birds with one stone.

But you’ve never used denim to make a quilt before, and you need some guidance. Making a denim quilt is pretty straightforward, but there are some things you can do to make things easy on yourself.

Whether you’ve made quilts before or not, here are some tips and tricks for how to make a denim quilt.

PREP YOUR DENIM

It may sound obvious, but you don’t want to use denim that’s dirty or too worn down. Before you start making your denim quilt, you should wash the jeans and other denim items you plan to use.

Next, it’s time to cut up your old jeans. You can rip the seams apart, but that can be time-consuming and not necessarily worth it.

Instead, you can cut close to the seams to get as much of the fabric as you can. You can toss the seams or save them to add as decoration later.

After that, take a look at what you have. Make sure the denim isn’t too thin or stretched out. While thinner areas aren’t the end of the world, you want to be strategic with where you place them in the quilt.

Finally, you’re ready to cut the denim into squares or shapes for your quilt. You can make all of the pieces square. However, long strips can be easier to work with.

If you use squares, they have to be pretty small, but strips can be longer. And you can get a little creative with how you place the strips for a unique design.

YOUR OWN DESIGN

Once you prepare and cut your denim, it’s time to start designing your denim quilt. If you decide to go with squares, you can match them up.

Matching up the squares will help you see how your quilt will fit together and if there are any gaps.

If you don’t want to design your own quilt, you can find a pattern online.

GET CREATIVE

Now, you can get creative with how you place the squares of different washes. If you have different washes, you can make the squares go light to dark. Or you can mix and match.

The same is true for working with long strips.

At this point, you can also add in some squares of other fabrics. If you want a big quilt and don’t have much denim, adding other fabrics can help you reach your desired size. Other fabrics can also add some color or texture to your quilt.

REMEMBER THIS

Unless you’ve sewn denim before, you probably don’t know that denim requires some special care. You can’t just sew denim like you would any other fabric.

According to The Spruce Crafts, you should use a denim needle rather than a regular needle. You should also use either cotton thread or special jeans thread.

They also recommend against hand sewing a denim quilt. Denim’s thickness can make hand sewing more time-consuming and frustrating.

Instead, you should use a sewing machine. You can set the machine to sew about 10 to 12 stitches per inch. And if your sewing machine has a walking foot, that can help keep the quilt from moving around.

SEW, SEW, SEW

Now, it’s finally time to sew! So grab your sewing machine, needle, and thread. Get your quilt set up and ready to put together.

Make sure you have the time and space to work on your quilt. Depending on the size, you may need more space and time. If you don’t have much of either, you can sew the quilt in spurts. Just be sure to take a picture of your design to remind you where each patch will go.

THE FINISHING TOUCH

If you want to make the ends of your quilt look polished, consider binding them. Binding the quilt is where you sew strips around the edge of your quilt.

You should use new denim or other fabric for this because old denim usually isn’t long enough. But regardless of your fabric choice, binding your quilt can keep the ends from fraying. It will look like new for much longer.

JEANS, RENEWED

We’ve all had our favorite pair of jeans or a beloved jean jacket. And sadly, they’ve probably worn down. You may not even be able to wear your favorite jeans anymore.

But all hope isn’t lost for your prized denim. Instead of tossing your unusable jeans, turn them into a denim quilt.

You can bring new life to your old jeans, and you can still feel their softness against your legs or arms. Only this time, it’s because you’re under a quilt, rather than wearing your jeans.

You probably own several pair of jeans that fit differently, but they’re all in your size, which begs the question, how should jeans fit?

For a long time, I thought if my jeans didn’t fall without a belt, they were the perfect fit. But boy was I wrong!

HOW SHOULD JEANS FIT?

In an ideal world, every pair of jeans that came in your size would fit like a glove. But we don’t live in a perfect world, and there’s no universal denim sizing chart.

As a result, you should expect every brand of jeans to fit your body differently. I know, not what you were expecting. But there’s good news! It’s possible to find the perfect fit no matter the brand you choose.

So how should jeans fit?

The answer to this question depends on what type of jeans you’re shopping for.

WOMEN’S FIT GUIDE

When it comes to women’s jeans, the best fit is the one that accentuates your curves and draws attention in all the right places. And lucky for you, there are several options to choose from.

If you have a small midsection but want to create the illusion of a longer torso, low-rise jeans are the way to go.

Flared jeans, on the other hand, are an excellent choice if you’re going for a more balanced look. They’re perfect for all body shapes and enhance the appearance of your legs length, which is always a good thing.

For ladies who have curvier hips and a fuller belly, a straight leg will flatter your curves the most because it’s excellent for balancing proportions.

And if you want to flatter, lengthen, and balance your shape, a high-rise pair of jeans will never disappoint.

Skinny jeans are also an excellent option, mainly because they work on all body shapes and sizes.But for best results, you always have to ensure you have every type of jeans in the right size. And when it comes to size, the only way to tell is to try them on!

MEN’S JEANS FIT GUIDE

Men have it a bit easier compared to women, but they still struggle with the question, “how should jeans fit?” So let’s find out what the process entails.

The first thing a man should look for in a pair of jeans is the length. To achieve a sophisticated look, you need to go for pants that are long enough to have a half or full break.

Next, consider how the jeans fit your thighs. The denim should be comfortable and not pull at the knees when you bend or walk. You should also be able to pinch at least half an inch of the fabric away from your thigh and a maximum of one inch.The waist and seat of your jeans are also crucial. Always ensure your jeans are tight enough on your waistline that they don’t require a belt to hold them in place.And guys, ensure the pants are sitting in the right place. They should be anywhere between the mid and upper hip area. Not lower than that. So pull them up!

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF JEANS ARE TOO SMALL?

Besides figuring out the answer to “how should jeans fit?”, you’re probably also asking, “how do you know jeans are too small?”

In this era of skinny jeans, it’s challenging to know when your jeans are too tight or small. After all, isn’t the purpose skinny jeans to fit like a glove? True. But these tell-tale signs will let you know when need to go a size higher.

HOW DOES YOUR BUM LOOK?

How your booty looks in the jeans is a sure way to tell if you got a size too small. If the jeans make your bum look flat or create creases unflatteringly, there’s a high chance you have a small pair.

The right size should flatter your curves from every angle.

IF YOU HAVE TO DO THIS

How many times do you have to jump to break into your jeans? Before I knew the answer to “how should jeans fit?” I thought jumping to fit into your jeans was part of the process. I mean, how else are you supposed to get into skinny jeans?

But this shouldn’t be the case. It should be easy for you to put on your denim pants. Once, they’re on, do the sitting test. If you feel the need to unbutton or unzip the pants, get a bigger size.

SURE SIGNS OF EXTREME TIGHTNESS

Another sign that your jeans are too small is if the zipper keeps slipping down when you have the jeans on. Apart from this, you’ll also notice a lot of wrinkling, especially in the crotch region.

Stretched out seams and folding waistbands are also sure ways to tell if your pants are too small.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF JEANS FIT?

The answer to the question, “how should jeans fit?” is not complete if you don’t know what to look for when shopping for jeans.

To ensure you have the perfect fit, consider these factors.

EXAMINE THESE AREAS

One of the areas you should concentrate on when trying to find the right pair of jeans is the crotch. If you notice a lot of bunching in the crotch area, the jeans aren’t the right fit. And if you’re still uncertain, check the back inseam. If it’s leaning more towards your left or right cheek, it’s too small.

Another critical area to examine is the ankles. If the pants are bunching near your feet, you should reevaluate your size.

It’s also essential to examine the comfort of the waist and crotch. If you feel uncomfortable when sitting down, there’s a high chance your jeans are too small. You shouldn’t feel like they are cutting off your circulation or need to unbutton the pants every time you sit. What’s more, the zipper should stay put at all times.

There should also be a need to unbutton or unzip your jeans when you want to wear or take them off. It may be convenient to have a pair of jeans that you can slip on and off without messing with the zipper, but such jeans don’t flatter your body.

WRINKLES

Another thing I thought was part of wearing jeans is wrinkling. In fact, if my jeans didn’t wrinkle, I thought they were too big, and so I got a smaller pair. But I was also wrong about this.

You see, there are two types of wrinkles in jeans, and they mean different things. The first is the outward facing wrinkles, which indicate your jeans are too big. The other type is inward facing lines, which are a sign that your jeans are too small.

Therefore, if you want the perfect fit, stay away from the wrinkles.

POCKET ALIGNMENT IS KEY

Pockets aren’t only excellent for depicting poor fit, but also a great indicator of poor construction.

So how should your pockets look? The back pockets should be well centered around your cheek and cover the middle third of your backside if the jeans are the correct fit. Besides, they should never extend to your cheek curve or rest on your thighs!

The front pocket, on the other hand, should remain in the front and shouldn’t align against your leg.

IT’S THE JEANS, NOT YOU

It’s easy to get frustrated with yourself when none of the jeans you try on seem to fit the way you need them to. But when this happens, you need to keep in mind that all jeans are made different. To find the right pair, you’ll need to try on several of them.

And if you find a pair that mostly fits, remember there’s always the possibility of getting the jeans altered if you really don’t want to let them go. With this in mind, draw a line between what’s achievable and what might be too much work.

HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU?

And last but not least, always use your confidence as an indicator. How confident do you feel in the jeans? Would you wear them out without getting too self-conscious? The answer to these questions is an excellent indicator of whether or not you have the right fit.

So always take some time to think about how you feel in the jeans before making a final decision. It may also help to compare the pants with other options to find out which one gives you the most confidence.

WRAPPING UP

Now that we’ve answered “how should jeans fit,” we’re confident you’ll have an easier time finding the right pair of jeans for your needs. However, expect to face a few challenges here and there when shopping for denim because as we said, all jeans are made different and there’s no universal sizing chart.

Nonetheless, with practice, you’ll surely get better at identifying the best fit without going through so much trouble.

Are you now more confident about shopping for jeans? Do you have any other tips for finding the best fit that we didn’t mention? Please share your thoughts and views in the comments section below. It’s always a joy to hear from our readers.

Many of us have a favorite pair of jeans, a denim jacket that holds memories, or the desire to fix up our old clothes. Some might also want to fix up those classic frayed jeans if they’re tired of that fashion. If that’s the case, there are many reasons why we need to know how to sew on a patch on denim.

When you patch up some denim, you save the rest of the clothing from going to waste. In fact, when you can patch it, you can style it in different ways.

Fortunately, you can learn how to sew on a patch very easily. There are actually quite a few ways to go about this task. The traditional way is to use a thread and needle, of course, but there are also some fixes that may save you the stitching.

A non-stitching method usually requires some fabric glue. If you don’t have the strongest kind of glue, you’ll notice that this may not be a permanent way to patch your denim.

However, it’s still a handy method for those who have issues with stitching, such as those suffering from arthritis or rheumatism.

Patches are not just a way to fix up your denim-based items, though. Once you’ve mastered the art of how to sew on a patch, you can use the same technique to fix up your other well-loved clothes.

HOW TO KNOW THE RIGHT SIZE PATCH

The first step is to know the right size and kind of patches for your denim. These are nothing more than squares of fabric in varying sizes. You can probably buy them in certain stores, where embroidered options are available.

There are also sequined, beaded, and felt patches in stores. Felt is a material that’s especially good for patching, as it doesn’t fray at the edges.

If you want a special kind of patch, you can always cut and embroider it yourself. That will help you get the exact kind of look you want without having to waste time looking for the perfect match.

Before making or buying your patches, you should take some measurements from the hole in order to work out the quantity of fabric you require. When measuring, you should also make sure the denim clothing is stretched out flat on a horizontal surface.

Another thing to check is that there should be no ragged pieces or excess thread to get in the way of your measuring. You can trim those with scissors before using the measuring tape, as these can make the hole seem smaller.

Your patch needs to be large enough to cover the hole and then some. Therefore, you should add a half-inch to your measurements before cutting out the fabric.

MATERIALS YOU NEED TO SEW THE PATCH

Before you can learn how to sew on a patch for denim, you need to have the right supplies for the job. The material for the patches is a major necessity.

You might want to match the fabric with the original clothing as closely as possible. However, that isn’t always necessary.

If you find a fun print at the fabric store or you have a couple of scraps lying around, you can get creative.

At the end of it all, however, the patch will be evident on the clothing. So, it’s time to be proud of your patching skills and flaunt your patch as a fashion statement!

HOW TO DO THE SEWING RIGHT BY USING THE STANDARD METHOD

image via: pexels.com

If you want to know how to sew on a patch instead of simply gluing it on, you have to concentrate on the exact method of sewing. As long as you have a functional sewing machine or a decent sewing kit, there’s no reason to get fabric adhesive of any kind.

After you’ve used your scissors to trim the loose threads and frayed edges, you’ll need fabric pins, thread, a pencil or pen, paper, fabric, and a sewing needle.

If you want no-stitch patching, you’ll need to collect scissors, fabric adhesive or some fusible web, the fabric itself, paper, and a pen. Remember, you still need to trim the holes and make them neat whether you’re stitching or not.

HOW TO SEW ON A PATCH: UNIVERSAL GUIDELINES

There are some universal steps to take if you want to know how to sew on a patch. No matter whether you’re fixing jeans or a denim jacket, you have to turn it inside out before sewing on the patch. You must do this after you’ve cleared away the loose and frayed ends.

The next step is to put some paper under the rip or hole, and then trace along the hole with a pen or pencil. Now, take the paper away and draw around the traced hole, leaving about half an inch of space between the original line and the new one.

The result will be the size and shape you need your patch to have. Cut out the tracing along the new, larger lines; this is your stencil. Lay this stencil over the patching fabric, and cut out your patch.

Now that you have your patch ready, lay it out on top of the hole in the clothing, which should be inside out. Secure it with some pins.

If possible, you can measure around this area and take double the amount of thread to the result. Thread your needle and pull the thread until its ends align with each other. Make a knot, and you’re ready to sew!

Then, start on any kind of stitch to fix your patch in place. You should make the stitches as tight and small as possible.

A slip stitch means that your needle will go through your fabric in a diagonal direction. If you do decide to go with this option, you should keep the stitches very small.

If you don’t, you could risk the fabric moving, or the thread might bunch out.

Keep the pins in until you’ve finished your sewing. When you’re done, fix the ends before cutting any excess thread.

HOW TO SEW DIFFERENT TYPES OF PATCHES

It’s amazing how each patch is different. What’s more exciting is that you can change the look of your denim clothing or accessories by using unique patches.

FIXING WITHOUT ANY STITCHES

In case you don’t have the supplies or simply don’t want to sew for some reason, there is a way to patch up your clothing without stitching it.

Again, you want to make sure that the clothing item is inside out and laying flat on a horizontal surface. Now, put a piece of paper or cardboard under the hole and make your stencil as you do with the stitching version.

Next, you can apply fabric glue or adhesive to the hole’s border. There should be enough all-around to come into contact with the overlapping patch.

Now, smooth out the patching fabric and cut out the patch according to the stencil. You’ll have to wait a bit before sticking it on, according to the instructions on the adhesive.

In case you’re using fusion webbing, you should follow the instruction on the specific kind you have. Again, you’ll have to apply the webbing all around the border and then stick on the patch.

Then, you can iron on the patch in order to apply the required heat for activating the webbing.

APPLIQUÉD PATCH

Now that you know how to sew on a patch, let’s take a look at how to sew an appliquéd patch. An appliquéd patch is sewn by hand or a machine right onto the face of your garment.

After measuring and pinning the pans, you use a blanket switch for hand-appliqué. That has turned edges. For a sewing machine, you’ll use tight stitches in a zigzag fashion.

HANDMADE OVERHAND PATCH

It’s another kind of patch you sew from the face or the right side of your clothing article. If the garment has a thick fabric, you’ll use a thinner one for the overhand patch. If you don’t, the patch will project outwards.

OVERHAND PATCH

For an overhand patch, you should make the hole or rip into a square shape first. Next, cut out a square patch that’s a little bigger than your square hole. Press the patch’s edges about a quarter of the way inside the hole. Then, baste it with stitches along the edges.

EMBROIDERED PATCH

For additional flair, you can also get patches that have embroidery on them. These are usually of thick fabric and come in all shapes and sizes.

If you buy these, you can attach them right onto the denim without turning down the edges. That’s because the edges are usually prefinished and resistant to fraying.

You can then apply the patch on the fabric using tiny hand stitches or a sewing machine. Check out whipstitching for handwork, and baste the fabric together beforehand.

Once you’ve applied the patch to the hole, turn the garment inside out. Now finish off the edges with an overcast stitch, and you’re done! For durability, you can sew the patch down one more time.

REVERSE APPLIQUÉ PATCH

A reverse appliqué patch is applied from the back of your garment. You cut the hole in the shape of the appliqué design, and stitch all around the hole’s edge.

For this method, satin or small zigzag stitches are best. However, you can also use a straight stitch. If you want the stitching line to be visible, you might want to put two spools in your sewing machine.

DARNING PATCH

You can sew a darning patch by putting a patch of fabric underneath the hole. Then, use very close straight stitches to sew the patch all around. You may use the reverse switch as well in order to make sure everything is in place.

You should also make sure to use a colored thread of exact machine on both the bottom and the top. If you don’t want the stitched cloth to be visible, it’s wise not to go for a light color for the thread. If you can’t find the exact same color, you can choose something darker instead.

FLANNEL PATCH

A flannel patch is made of felt and can be either a match or contrast in color. You can start off by cutting a piece in a square shape, making sure it’s larger than the hole.

Now, put your patch above the hole, and baste the two fabrics together. Use buttonhole stitches to apply the patch firmly to the original fabric.

Next, you turn the clothing article inside out and cut away the worn or frayed edges. Use catch stitches to affix the patch properly, and pluck out the basting stitches.

You may also choose to keep the flannel or felt underneath the hole. That will be an advantage, as it would prevent the patch’s edges from fraying. However, you might not find this technique as comfortable as putting the patch outside the hole.

THE TOP 5 BEST WHITE SKINNY JEANS TO BUY IN 2018

Think bold, brave and daring. Or at least that’s what pops up in my mind when I see women and men rocking that bright clean white denim. Kanye West is actually one of the most famous celebrities to rock this style, always looking bright and slick in his nice white jeans.

I feel like there is an abundance of rules and regulations regarding white jeans, with silly sentiments such as “you can only wear white jeans before Memorial Day and after Labor Day”.

Some of the most stylish celebrities and inspirational figures in our society can be seen rocking the white all year-round.  

White Jeans have been badass since the day they were created, as they were born out of rebellion. Back in the 50s and 60s most of the schools prohibited their students from wearing blue jeans. Thus, to outsmart the system, students found a clever way around the strict ban by bleaching their jeans a bright white.

HOW WE CHOSE OUR RATINGS

These white denim options have all been personally rated by me, myself and I. With that being said, I claim to be no fashion expert or miracle white denim guru.

No single pair of pants is necessarily better than the other as I have included a wide-range of pant-types, styles and pricing so that you can decide which option will be the perfect fit for you. You can’t really go wrong with any of these options, as each pair of white jeans is equally different, beautiful and capable of turning even the snarkiest of white-jean haters into the most loyal of fans.

Each of the pairs of these white denim jeans are absolutely breathtaking. Any woman would be lucky to wear any one of them, as I can tell that each is made of quality materials.

As mentioned before, these are absolutely not the only places to stylish white denim jeans. However, these are some of the best brands, styles and sites that I was able to find. Each pair on this list looks both reputable, credible, affordable and stylish.

So take a look my lovelies, see what you like and don’t worry my feelings won’t be hurt. This guide is here to help you choose the perfect option that uniquely suits your white jeans apparel needs.   

BUYERS GUIDE: HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT WHITE JEANS

When looking for the perfect white denim jeans to purchase there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration before making that big decision.

Silhouette​There are multiple different silhouettes to choose between for when you’re looking for those new white jeans. It’s all about finding the right fit, that flatters your body just the way it is. One thing to keep in mind, is that unlike regular jeans there is no ability for strategic fading and whiskering that help to give off illusory slimming effects.

My suggestion is to go with a white jean that provides more of a slim-legged option, where the booty and hips are fitted and less tight in the thighs providing a slimming look. Boyfriend and straight leg jeans are especially popular right now. The least flattering sillouttee of all the jean options is going to be the fitted, high-waisted, skinny style white jeans. They are tight and bright, and definitely don’t keep anything out of site.Fabric

Do you like your jeans softer or more selvedge-like and stiffer. There are multiple different fabrics to keep in mind when choosing that perfect pair of white denim, as each one of the above give off a slightly different overall look.

Make sure to realize that with white there isn’t much room to hide your pride. Thinner and more stretchy fabrics put your goods on display for everyone, which is fine if that’s what you’re going for. However, I myself don’t want to put myself in a FUPA situation, so I would stick with a thicker denim for your white jeans. Always buy thicker than you think you will need, because you really don’t want that red lacy underwear to be on display all day when you are out and about running errands in your new fabulous jeans.Size

I feel like we as women are too caught up with what size we are. Constantly trying to fit and squeeze ourselves into the smallest size possible. But for the love of goodness please don’t follow this rule when going shopping for white jeans. White is always going to be one of the less forgiving colors, so do yourself a favor and size up on those new pair of denims.

Not to fret, we’ve got options for every type of bust. There’s halter, high neck, Queen Ann, plunging, Bateau neckline, off shoulder, sweetheart and V-neckline. Through trial and error (sorry I can’t do this one for you) you’ll be able to find the perfect place-holder for your little ladies.Length

The needed length of your jeans very drastically depends on the event of the day. If it’s a hot summer day and you want to join your ladies for brunch, I would suggest some white denim jeans with a cut off length at the ankles. They will be perfect to show off the pop of summer color on your toes and you won’t have to worry about them dragging on the ground. And if you do purchase jeans that are too long and don’t want to ruin them getting them dirty then just cut them. Raw hems are a hugely popular growing trend, so don’t be afraid and go grab those scissors!

As you can see, the detailing behind choosing that perfect pair of new white jeans is a little more intimidating than most want to admit. However, each item listed above are all things that should be taken into consideration when picking your one new favorite wardrobe piece.

I hope this guide has helped you to realize the versatility of having a pair of white jeans in your closet. These pants will become a necessity for both your normal and party lifestyles. From creating super chic and appropriate going to church outfits to looking drop dead gorgeous when going out with your gals, these jeans will have your back (and butt) the entire time.

You can either dress them up or dress them down, white denim jeans are perfect for walking all around the town.

All clothes should have a little bit of stretch so they are comfortable throughout a long day of use. You probably hate feeling constricted by your clothes, so when you try them on at the store, make sure there are some stretch and give to the material.

Then again, you don’t want the clothes to totally lose their shape after a few wears, so it is important to find a balanced middle ground.

Polyester is a manmade material, and because of that, it has been designed to be as comfortable and resilient as possible. Many sportswear items and outerwear pieces are made of at least some polyester, so they need to be comfortable and give the wearer room to breathe.

To find out if polyester will stretch as much as you would like it to while still retaining its shape, you may need to do some research.

If you have been wondering about the qualities of polyester as well, keep reading to find out more.

WHAT IS POLYESTER MADE OF?

In order to know what properties a material has, you need to know what that material is made out of. Polyester is made using a chemical reaction between air, water, coal, and petroleum. Let’s see what this chemical reaction is all about.

A petroleum by-product is mixed with the other ingredients in a high-temperature vacuum. This process is called polymerization, as it creates polymer material.

This material is kept very hot while it is stretched into threads about five times its original length. These threads are then spun, twisting the different fibers together to create a strong and durable material.

This process seems extensive, but it does create a material perfect for sports and cold temperatures. Because polyester is made of hollow fibers, it traps in the user’s body heat and keeps them warm in cold weather.

However, it is also highly water resistant, so sweat will not absorb in the material. That makes polyester perfect for physical activity, which is why so many running clothes are made out of the fabric.

It would be uncomfortable and disgusting to run with sweat-drenched clothes, so the properties that keep the fluids from absorbing into exercise clothes are incredibly useful.

Now that you understand exactly how polyester is made and what is used to make it, you can learn a little bit more about the material. You will soon see whether or not you will be able to stretch it and wear it comfortably.

IS POLYESTER STRETCHY? THE SHORT ANSWER: IT IS!

The good news is polyester is stretchy naturally. This is a manmade material, so it was designed with the comfort of the wearer in mind.

However, clothes made of 100% polyester tend to snap back into shape pretty quickly. Yes, they will stretch when you wear them and do hard labor or exercise, but they will also retain enough shape to still fit your body as they always did.

If you want to ensure your clothing is more stretchy than typical workout clothes, and you do not wish for it to snap back into its original form, you may want them to only be partially made of polyester, blended with other material such as cotton.

Polyester is stretchy because of the petroleum product it is made of, which also makes polyester susceptible to heat. If high temperatures are applied, polyester will be malleable and moldable, allowing the customer to shape and stretch it to some degree.

HOW TO STRETCH POLYESTER

Is polyester stretchy? You now know that it is. But to make sure you are not damaging your clothing, make sure you follow the proper methods of stretching polyester.

First, wash the clothes on the highest heat your washer offers (but make sure the water is not above 178 degrees Fahrenheit! – you don’t want to boil your clothes!).

Next, take the piece of clothing out of the washer, and rather than drying it, put on the damp clothes.

This may sound uncomfortable, but wearing the article while it is still wet will allow the heat from the hot water to mold it to the shape of your body, stretching it the way you like. Once the material has stretched as much as seems possible, hang it up to dry.

But do not let it dry completely the whole way through. When it is still semi-wet, try stretching the material a little bit more. This should make your clothing a little looser, and it will hopefully stretch out to the desired size and shape.

Next time you put it on, you should notice a difference in the way it fits you.

If you do not want to run your garment through the washer, simply wetting it with hot water may do the trick.

Once the material is wet and warm, stretch it out by pulling with your hands near the seams. This should make the material looser and more willing to stretch. Once the garment is the size you want it, hang it up or lay it out to air dry.

Do not put it in the dryer, as this may shrink it back to its original size.

Because polyester is made to retain its shape, it can be a challenge to stretch out the material and keep it that way. Try to avoid putting your polyester clothes in the dryer if you want them to stay loose after you have pulled and stretched them.

If you do not want to go through this process, try to purchase naturally stretchy polyester-blend clothing.

WHICH POLYESTER BLENDS ARE MOST STRETCHY?

When on the hunt for comfortable polyester-blend clothes with lots of stretch and give, try searching for a spandex component. Spandex is low maintenance and is another manmade fiber made to be strong and water resistant.

Many running outfits are made of a polyester/spandex blend, as they should be comfortable for flexible and agile activity. Runners need to be able to move freely and comfortably in their polyester clothing, so it is easy to find running clothes with some spandex added for stretch.

Compression shorts and bike shorts are almost always made of polyester and spandex as they are perfect for staying cool and dry during laborious exercise.

Super comfortable leggings are also usually made of some kind of blend of polyester and spandex, so they’re perfect for lounging around during the day and staying relaxed.

WHAT OTHER CLOTHES ARE MADE OF POLYESTER?

Exercise clothes are not the only ones made of polyester, though.

Anyone who wants to ensure they are comfortable all day and night should see if they can find the kind of clothes they’re looking for in some blend of polyester.

For instance, many dresses are made as a poly blend. Dresses like this are typically made of cotton, polyester, and spandex, and they fit great! They shape to your body while still staying comfortable enough for a long day’s wear.

All different types of dresses are made of polyester, including maxi dresses, fit and flare dresses, sheath dresses, shift dresses, bodycon dresses, sundresses, and wrap dresses. In other words, if you want to find a dress made of polyester, you absolutely can!

Since polyester is so easy to care for with its resistance to stains and its ability to be washed at home, more and more clothes are made of this material today. Dress shirts are often made of a blend of polyester and rayon, another manmade material.

Many people believe that formal shirts like those you would wear to the office are typically uncomfortable, but when they are made of polyester, you can be sure they will stretch to keep you feeling good and looking good all day long.

If you cannot find a polyester/spandex blend you like (although this is unlikely), polyester mixed with Lycra also creates very stretchy and moldable material.

Many pencil skirts are made of a polyester/Lycra blend. This means you will not feel restricted in your movements, even when you are at your very most dressed up.

Maybe you tend to feel uncomfortable and stiff when you get dressed up for a fancy event, but with polyester-blend clothing, you do not have to worry about this.

Several t-shirts are even made of polyester these days, because again, it is so easy to care for, and it keeps its shape. T-shirts made of just cotton will shrink and be unable to stretch back to their original size, but when there is a polyester component, the original shape is not lost after a wear or a wash since polyester is stretchy.

NEXT STEPS

You have learned the answer to the question: “Is polyester stretchy?”, and this makes it perfect for any type of clothes, whether it be exercise wear or formal wear.

No matter what style or function you are looking for, you should be able to find the perfect piece made either entirely of polyester or as some kind of polyester blend.

You are sure to be satisfied with this comfortable, shape-retaining, nonabsorbent material. You’ll probably start checking tags before you purchase clothes to make sure they’re made of polyester, the stretchy, comfortable fabric!
