Coláiste Muire

Clare County Council

 It is crafted from two pairs of preloved jeans and a collection of old bed linen. 

The group began by opening up the outer leg seam on one of the pairs of jeans to create a flare. 

They then carefully measured the opening and cut two triangle godets from another pair of jeans to be sewn into that space, adding a own patchwork effect with square of bed linen.

The top was created by tracing an existing sleeveless top on parchment paper, and then made from one of the duvet covers used. They added  ties to each side of the top, made from strips of the same duvet cover.

The top has been finished on the inside with bias binding, also made by the group.
