Why do I never remember to take ‘before’ photos?
Earlier this week Craig threw a pair of trousers on the ground (his usual filing system) and proclaimed that they were for the bin. Realising that they were his fav jeans, I questioned him. “Really? are you sure?”
Craig had decided that they were beyond repair. They had been worn so much that the backs of the legs were about 5 inches shorter than the front, and there were holes in the pockets and a few ‘air holes’ as well.
I just didn’t want to throw them away. They are just a pair of jeans after all, so I don’t know why I felt an attachment to them? i must be a little crazy on some level… But give this girl a few pins, a good pair of scissors and my trusty sewing machine…Voila!
I got so excited I added the pockets and the label just for a little pazzazz!
I didn’t have a lot of the pink pattern fabric so I made the base of the inside lining with plain white fabric, and in honesty the whole lining is about 2-3 inches shorter than the height of the denim, but i’m going to pretend that i planned it that way because the result is that the denim looks slouchy and really cool. LOL
Thanks for stopping by!
