take a casual, thrift store, Denim Jacket from plain and ordinary
to
fancy and fabulous
work out a design and then transfer it to your project
an iron on transfer tracing pencil can be used,
but remember the design will be ironed on in reverse
or
lay a piece of transfer paper under the design and over top of your fabric
go over the design with a ball point pen to transfer the pattern
or just draw the design on free-hand with a pen
use an embroidery hoop and floss
I used all six strands of floss
Adding button hole stitches along the seams and
around the edges of pockets looks nice
Remember back in the day when we appliqued our bell-bottomed denim jeans.
I think I am old and quirky enough now that I can wear old jeans --boot-cut--
all decked out.
I'll post pictures when they are finished.
I think I was always "old and quirky" , and I think I like being quirky. Not everyone can do it. We're lucky huh!
