looking for old denim jeans etc

I am in need of used denim fabric, such as old jeans with worn-through knees that can't go to a thrift store. I am also looking for used upholstery fabric with a medium to small print on it. Pieces of any size would be welcome. Thanks for any help you can give.

I will look to see if I still have my leftover jeans from a project I did. Can you use smaller pieces of denim? I made a quilt and may still have the cut up pieces.

Any pieces 4" square or larger would be great. Much smaller than that would probably be too fiddly to work with for what I'm doing. Thanks for your reply. If you have anything that would fit, I would be very glad to hear back.

Ive got 4 or 5 pairs if your still interested, will trade them for the opportunity to metal detect your yard/land (when the snow is gone of course).

I have some, too. Getting ready to throw them away. I have blue and black.

I am so curious,would you be willing to share what you are doing with the fabric?

A friend and I are experimenting with making some patchwork items from used fabrics - kitchen items etc. We hope eventually to see if we can make a business of it (at which point we'll really have to find some wholesale sources, I know), but right now we're simply having fun! Thanks for asking. If knowing that might affect your willingness to part with your old denim, I totally understand, but really I'm just looking for stuff that is already of no good use to anyone else.
