To assemble such a herringbone pattern, you need to pay attention and accuracy, but the result is unusual.
This pillowcase is made up of 17 pieces, each of its own size. The seams here are made with allowances outside and specially left untreated. Since old jeans are used, the structure and coloring of denim just emphasizes the complex pattern of the pillowcase. For a pillowcase on a medium-sized pillow, one pair of unnecessary jeans is enough.

Step 1
Wash and dry your jeans. Cut the legs, cut the seams, iron the resulting flaps. It will be necessary to carve 17 parts. It is important to cut all the details so that the long side of the rectangles is strictly along the shared thread. It is better to immediately write on the inside of each rectangle its size or number, so as not to get confused during assembly.
