* Have a favorite pair of jeans that are showing their age but you just aren't ready to end your relationship with them?

* Are your maternity jeans gathering dust in the closet waiting for you to find time to do something crafty with them?

* Are your well-loved jeans playing peek-a-boo as the holes get a little bigger every day?

I will work with you to turn those much loved jeans into your very own pod of whales! All those special details that make you adore your jeans can make your whales a wonderful reminder of that perfect pair. This is a great way to commemorate your favorite jeans, or pass them on to your children while keeping them in the family.

I will use your jeans (as well as some denim from my stash if necessary) to create several realistic humpback whales that are sure to become unique and treasured friends (number of whales may vary depending on amount of material provided, most jeans will yield 1 large and 2 small whales). Handcrafted with love, each whale is perfect for cuddling, using as a car seat pillow, and toting around. Each whale is guaranteed to be unique and will preserve the special details that make your jeans irreplaceable!

***You are responsible for the cost of shipping your jeans to me. I will send you my address when your order is received.***

Please note this listing is for a set of whales custom designed by me using your own jean material. For whales created out of vintage denim from my stash please see the separate listings in my shop.

Dimensions:
*Large whale:
19" long (nose-tail)
4" tall (belly-top fin)
*Small whale:
12" long (nose-tail)
4" tall (belly-topfin) 3" (belly to top of head)

Materials:
Whale body, fin, & tail - Denim from your favorite jeans

I handcraft each whale and would love to create a custom whale to your specifications. I can customize the underside of the fins and tail if you want something other than denim for an additional cost ~$5 depending on what material you would like. If you look at the small whale in my shop you will see that satin makes a nice bottom for fins and tail. Whales can be personalized for an additional $5. Send me a message and I will make an additional custom listing for you to complete your order.

I will happily ship internationally, please send me a message and I will create a custom listing for you including shipping to your location.
