On these denim jeans, I have felted "Sipho's Taxi". It was done free
hand and I added as I went along. Once
washed the felted wool "Shrinks" which adds extra strength. These jeans
have already been washed in a washing machine a few times. By doing
this you can create your own designer jeans at very little cost.
