Denim Jacket Reconstruction Part 2

I decided it needed something more.
In the process of adding this to the bottom .
Many of you have emailed me wondering how to do your own jacket. If I ever can get my thoughts organized I will try to put a tutorial together. I am far from a pro, I just do what looks and feels right.

Oh, I wanted to thank you for all your sweet comments.

A sneak peek at what I have been working on

Went to the local thrift store, found a cream denim jacket, a sweater and two pair of pants.With a little patience and creativity. I began the reconstruction.
Here is a little peak at how this project is coming.

Total cost $4.49


Who needs new when you can re purpose old!

Friday

Happiness is....

you fill in the blank.

Tonight I will be sorting and untangling this mess. That is of course after my first priority, my family, which brings me baskets full of happiness. (Friday Night Family Night)

Maybe all the untangling and sorting won't get done, maybe it will.
However, what I do know for sure. Time spent WITH my family will always come first and bring the most happiness.


What are you doing tonight?

Double Duty

Working with two computer screens now. Thank you hubby.
I wonder if he thinks I'll get twice the work done. I hope not because, as you can see I'm watch The Office on one screen and twittering on the other. shhhhhh don't tell.

The hum

I need to hear the hum of my sewing machine and not the clicking of this keyboard and mouse.

Looking for a little sewing inspiration. What are you working on?

Sometimes it's nice to escape!

Yo-Yo Quilt

I have been working on a lot of BIG projects lately. Looking forward to getting some completed.

This is a very old yo-yo quilt that I fell in love with but needs repair work.

If it could only tell me all the stories it holds.

Slow Down and Enjoy Each Day

Vintage doilies remind me of a simpler time. A time when families would sit and talk while mom would crochet her latest creation for her home or maybe for a loved one.
