The Big Denim Project: The Results
Sewed the snaps onto the denim bag yesterday afternoon, so I now declare The Big Denim Project finished! Skirt 1 is the one I widened by adding inserts into the side seams. Skirt 2 was fine “as made”. The bag is trimmed and lined with fabric left over from Skirt 1. I still have about 1 yard of that fabric left, and since it is absolutely gorgeous, I’ll just have to think of something to do with it.
The Big Denim Project
I recently found myself in possession of three pairs of perfectly good jeans (2 adult / 1 child) that had all been outgrown by their respective owners. Having done the whole “denim rag rug thing” earlier in the year, I decided that I could do without sore hands for the next few weeks and started to look around for other possibilities.
The Holiday
Yes – this blog has been neglected. I really need to establish a regular blogging routine… Busy summer, though — punctuated by a week in France which was really nice. We went over for my niece’s 21st birthday (my brother lives in Azincourt which is about halfway between Calais and Arras) and stayed in the rural town of Hesdin. As luck would have it, we were there for the town’s annual fete which lasted all week and ended with a spectacular show in the town square on the last night.
