How To Recycle Your Jeans (1/3) "Open Up" / Mutsu

[@UndaDaSeaProductions]

I'm calling this the Mutsu Method... you only need to watch this one video to understand the cost of your garments. I'm truly a fan.

[@penelope-oe2vr]

I have made a pact to myself to never buy "new" clothing for myself anymore. Only upcycle. I am disabled so I can wear whatever I want. My dog wears clothes through the cold months and I have been making all of her clothes out of my daughter's toddler clothes I saved. She loves them! I plan to upcycle what I have, and use thrift stores to source materials. I will occasionally buy fabrics for dress items for special occasions. I want to make my things rugged so they last forever. I am a retired welder and welding inspector for turbines for nuclear power plants, I want to make a bunch of things out of my old work uniform set. I started out restoring a vintage sewing machine as something to do while at home on treatments and bored. Now I have about a dozen sewing machines. I'm learning to sew and also doing leather work and handbags. Its something I can do even in bed, and gives me a sense of accomplishment. My daughter likes my handmade items better than store bought also.

[@MUTSUBYPROSPECTIVEFLOW]

Great idea you upcycle all of your clothing! Thank you very much for watching my video. Take care and have a nice week👍

What’s that tool used for the metal fasteners?

[@womensarmycorpsveteran2904]

I’ve been making handbags of recycled jeans for a long time now and you pretty much de-construct the same way I do. I have found the easiest way to remove all the short threads from the bar tacks is to press tape on the other side and most of it comes out in one go.

[@belipe_belipe_belipe]

one years passed, but if you are still doing it the same way I'd suggest you to use an extra sticky lint roller. so convenient, especially for the leg seam.

[@inezpaiva7252]

Quando conserto jeans , guardo os fios que tiro das costuras para usar novamente , porque é dificil encontrar fios no mesmo tom , do que foi usado. PARABENS PELO SEU TRABALHO , OBRIGADA POR POSTAR

[@MUTSUBYPROSPECTIVEFLOW]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@MinecrafterZo26]

The rivets don't pop off as easy for me... but I have already removed the buttons. Any suggestions on how the remove the stubborn things?

[@deborahtownsend5042]

Do you use card stock to make your patterns? Where do u get your pattern paper from. I would love to take jeans apart & remake them. Not by hand like you but with my sewing machine. I have never seen cardstock paper so big. Thank you so very much for your videos they are awesome. I’ve noticed flow & reflow what does that mean to you? Love your work. Can’t explain how much.

[@MUTSUBYPROSPECTIVEFLOW]

I have a clothing line called Prospective Flow and the word "Flow" coming from the brand concept "Keep The Heritage Flowing". I think you find pattern paper through online!

[@deborahtownsend5042]

@@MUTSUBYPROSPECTIVEFLOW I’ve looked a little bit but not sure what to buy. Guess I’ll keep looking unless you wouldn’t mind posting a link to what you buy? That would be awesome if you could/would. Thank you.

[@MUTSUBYPROSPECTIVEFLOW]

The iron is from brand called Sapporo!

What is the tool for taking out the buttons and rivets?

[@MUTSUBYPROSPECTIVEFLOW]

End cutting pliers I think.

This is inspiration!

[@debbieloveridge]

What is the tool called to take off metal piece on pockets? Cutting plyers. Sorry the writing was so small on my phone but I see now. I suppose I can find them online. Thanks for this interesting video

[@seanseams6308]

How do you take the chain sticking out so easily from the inseam it just doesn’t pull out the same way for me as in your video

[@MUTSUBYPROSPECTIVEFLOW]

Sean Hargrove Thank you very much for watching my video👍 After you cut the begging of chain stitch, you need to find right thread to pull. So, if you can not find the right thread where you start from and then you need to try from other side! Good luck with your project🙌

[@seanseams6308]

MUTSU BY PROSPECTIVE FLOW thank you so much ! I started to figure it out a bit still struggling with the technique on certain parts of the pant, but practice makes perfect and I love your art !

[@MUTSUBYPROSPECTIVEFLOW]

Sean Hargrove You will get better with time🙌 Thank you very much! Please come back again for more episodes!

[@stigyanblue1442]

Another tip, there are two threads to any machined seam: the bobbin thread on one side, and the needle thread on the other side. One of these will allow you to pull the seam out easily, I just forget which one and you cant really tell which is which by sight.

[@seanseams6308]

Lmystery Dmystery I believe based off the video it’s the bobbin side ? But it’s still such a hard technique to get right each time

[@MUTSUBYPROSPECTIVEFLOW]

JayDa Smith For the chain stitch, you can find a right thread to pull a seam easily👍 For regular stitch I recommend you to use a seam ripper! Thank you very much!

Same. I'm on hour 4 of snipping stitch by stitch on a pair of jeans.
