This is the finished piece - I'll need to think at some point about the unfinished edges, but here I've just layered them over each other and stitched them down however the fancy took me. Practical questions aside though I'm very happy with the look of it.
Linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching and ayliN-Nilya for Monday Makers.

it DOES look fun...no wonder you kept at it! :)
An interesting way to decorate denim pieces.
You are right to be happy with the look of your work, it's really nice! Isn't it hard to stitch on denim fabric?
I love this...it reminds me of how I embroidered all over my jeans back in college in the 1970s...I swear they were held together with embroidery floss! I like the unfinished edges, though...I think I'd keep them that way...like denim when it starts to fray. Great piece!

I love all the color you added to that organic cotton denim. I like raw edges too, I guess I am with Kitten it brings back memories of cut off jeans and embroidery on my jeans in high school! So glad you are enjoying your stitches!
I love all the different colors and types of stitches you used. This looks fun!
I absolutely love it when you become engrossed in a project and just can't stop - this is just gorgeous!
Can I play too. There are so many stitches I'd like to try against denim.
Love it! Love the different stitches you used and the different colours of threads!
So glad you could join us for some slow stitching!
wow the thread and hand work really shows up well! Cool. LeeAnna at not afraid of color
Love your stitching. Really incredible.:)
I'm so happy that you've posted another photo. I thought you were sewing the pieces together then adding embellishments. I see that was my mistake. It has to be difficult to embroider through the denim--how are you managing that? Love how the colors pop against the fabrics!
