We’re DIY-obsessed here at DT, but one thing that really lights a fire under us is vintage inspiration from denim-days gone by. One such exciting example is one we found at this crafty blog, featuring magazine pages of embroidered denim from the 1970s. The colorful bohemian designs root from the ethnic influences that becoming massively popular at the time (and have made a serious comeback now). The images are from a contest the magazine (New Ingenue) was holding, titled “Decorate Your Denim”. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? Check out some of the winners below, and get inspired!

These deep blue of authentic 1970s high-waisted denim shorts are a once-cuffed semi-frayed edge dream come true. The back pocket is embroidered with the tell-tale ’70s rainbow. There are less than 12 hours to go on this auction, so jump on it!

Today was the first day of the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Sale & Show, at the Metropolitan Pavilion on West 18th street in New York. This is where the vintage-obsessed go to frolic through racks of aged-to-perfection items and relics of our stylish predecessors. With almost one hundred different clothing & textile dealers on-site, this year’s show is set to take the cake. But obviously, we’ve got our eyes on a specific prize… Check out these great promotional shots for the show, featuring some truly enticing vintage denim.
Check out photos from previous shows. Tickets are $20. Join their email list for a $5 discount, and if you can’t make it tomorrow (the last day), you can catch the show again in April.
