Last time I crocheted two patches and hand sewed them onto No. 3's jeans. They looked so funny, but she loved them. I won't be doing that again, the needle was so hard to push through the denim. My fingers were killing me by the time I had finished.
I've been out for a little bit of retail therapy this afternoon. Husband A. (Goodness I've just realised you maybe thinking I may have a Husband B and C too!) I should be so lucky!! Anyway, he is home at the moment convalescing after a bit of minor surgery, so I was able to sneak out with only one child.
I bought the little scissors for my crochet bag for only $4! Such a bargain. The tin is for my hand sewing needles as they are always going missing. The other fabrics are for other projects.
So where did I go? Daughter No 2 is itching to know herself as she reads over my shoulder. Well, where else, but Spotlight! Look at these lovely fabrics that caught my eye. I love the one above with the waves, just itching to be stitched when padded.
This is the most fabulous fabric I have seen for sometime and I just have to make some crochet rolls out of it. They have fruit bottoms! Which shape do you take after? The pear, apple or are you lucky enough to be the banana? I personally like the cherry. See the melons? So funny!

That last fabric had me in fits of giggles, I LOVE IT !!! I have never seen anything like it, lol, and I so wish I could get that over here. I don't buy new fabrics often ( practically never, seeing I have two shelf units full of vintage fabrics ) but I would buy that one.
Oh, and the skirt you made with the jeans top bit, I am not surprised she loves it so much, it looks great.
What hilarious fabric, wish I was the cherry! Great idea with the skirt. Have the same problem with jeans, but S and E wouldn't be happy if I made them into skirts! Good purchases as well. Am itching to have a project but have too much to do for the impending trip! See you Tues! x
what a gorgeous idea to combine old jeans with flower-fabrics and make a skirt out of both. but what should I do with all those jeans of my two boys??? ;-(( happy autumn from springfresh ireland! eliane
That fabric is so awesome, I want some too! What will you do with it?
cute skirt! well done, never thought of doing that! I've turned jeans into denim skirts for myself and love them!
