Spring in my skirt

Looking for an update to your wardrobe? Take an old pair of jeans and do the magic.
Here's how I did it. My old pair of jeans
Scissors. Cut along the stitches, don't stress yourself out about this part. I wanted for my skirt to be knee length, but you can make yours shorter if you want to.

Since prewashed jeans are still in fashion, I chose to use the end parts of the pants inside-out. Pin it just under the fly before sewing it. And do the same for the back part, too.
I had some gores from another pair of jeans and I used them just to spice it a little bit.
Voila!

To the rescue

I had a washing machine incident. My shirt came out cleaner than I expected.

I had some fabric laying around, waiting for me to use it. So I cut it in somewhat geometric shapes.

The two square-shaped patches were used for the collar.
I used the rectangular patch to cover the rip, but then I thought to myself that some triangles will do, too. And they did :)

Hocus pocus!

Let's take a simple white T-shirt
Add a sewing machine, black thread and stitch 46
Pour three emerald buttons and tananaa!

It's embroidery time!

My wonderful sewing machine with 60 built-in stitches has got me craving for changes in my wardrobe.
Today, it was my jeans' turn.

Red and dusty pink were selected as colors for the embroideries (stitch 46).



I just have to boast about my jeans

The sound of music

Winter has come and a little wool black dress is just what the doctor ordered.
I couldn't resist adding some rhythm


One, two, three, go!

Old jeans. New jeans.

I'm going through a phase that's giving me ideas to change my whole wardrobe.
Let's take for instance, my old jeans.
And the sleeves from what once used to be a dress.
Put them together

Add some silk ribbon

And we get a new pair of jeans
