More jeans...

No school today...teacher conferences. That means, no sewing either. I haven't been able to do much sewing this week at all. Although, I did whip up a pretty cool Saint Therese costume for Taylor's Saint report. I sewed black fabric to one my son's knit hats and then we flipped the fabric up and over the hat so that it hung like a nun's habit. Turned out great! Last night/this morning I managed to finish these for a sweet young girl named Lauren. This fabric (Valori Wells Sole) is perfect for jeans appliques. Lots of pattern and color. Back view...   Have a Happy Halloween! Thanks for checking in! LOL !

Rainy Friday

Jeans order complete! These were tough because usually when a client brings their jeans, they are plain jeans. This client brought these Gap jeans...Cute, but hard to match with a fabric. I wanted to pull the orange and the blue, but there is also gold thread in there that is hard to see in this picture. She wanted her initial, so this is what I did... It's hard to see but I used gold embroidery thread over the stems of the light blue flowers to tie in to the gold on the back pockets. She also needed these jeans to be a little longer, so I added this cuff and covered the back pockets.Luckily, they fit my girls and I was able to convince them to put them on for a pic... Of course, they wanted to keep them even though neither name starts with an "H"... I got this pretty package in the mail and I'm playing around with them today. A hundred things I should be working on besides belts, trust me. But they're so cute!

Birthdays!

October is birthday month at my house. My second daughter, Taylor, turned 9 on the 4th, and yesterday was Bradlee's birthday...she is 7! She's modeling an outfit I did for a client this Summer. Love this Amy Butler!

GAME DAY!!! Go Sooners! Beat Texas!!!!

Here are my Game Day Jeans... Okay, they could be a little obnoxious, but I love them! I had to stand on the chair to get a picture...I'll spare you a pic of my rear! Go Sooners!!

Jeans!

This is a custom jeans order I did this wknd. I've been doing a lot of these initial jeans lately. They make great birthday gifts for friends! I LOVE these Amy Butler fabrics in the Fall! I had actually planned to use these for a pair of jeans for myself...but they went to one of my favorite cutomers. Happy Birthday, Avery!!

My model/daughter wasn't too happy about selling a perfectly good pair of jeans that fit AND had her own initial on them!
