Oh Dear… More Denim!
R is putting on weight — which, given that he as spent years trying to put weight on, he is actually rather pleased about. On the down(ish) side, I’ve now been handed yet another pair of virtually unworn jeans. Unlike the last two batches, these aren’t blue. They’re black and very soft.
Rag Rugs
OK – so in the end I gave up and made a circular denim rag rug for K.And whilst I was photographing that one, I grabbed some shots of a couple of others I made previously.
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.
