This is really cool. I don't know if anyone has any recommendations for some of the materials he used here, but I tried looking some up. I did a quick look at the rules, and I don't think I'm not allowed to post links, but if I'm not, I'll take down the links. One last note is that these are the result of a quick google - if you know any better alternatives (and/or why what I've posted isn't good) just let me know!
Glue - I don't really know where to start here. I feel like there might be a lot to fabric glues that I don't know about. I don't know if these are suitable for denim but here is fray stop and fabric glue. In general, it seems that fabric glue is generally cheaper.
Basting thread - turns out this stuff is dirt cheap. Here are some links:
Interlacing Fabric - This is pretty cheap stuff too. You can get lots of it but it looks like it comes on a board (and I think in general if you buy the larger quantities it becomes cheaper), but I don't have space for a whole board so here's a small one. The original one I found was pretty lightweight, so /u/raWorkshop offered a heavier alternative!
InterlaceI've never seen the Gutermann basting thread, but I like that brand. Another great brand I found is Torre basting thread. It's a cotton, Italian thread that stays where you put it, doesn't fluff, breaks easily, and if need be, you can sew over it by machine and remove the basting stitches without disturbing the machine stitches. For $5.50, you get a big spool.
