I hope you had a lovely Christmas.
My table is a mess as I am sorting out a boxful of Tilly Tea Dance artwork ready to go off to one of her stockists. I always seem to end up with a mountain of bubble wrap and packing stuff!
The pile of old jeans came from Maxine (top left) - she thought they would recycle into jeans for Ben to play in. I just recut them and used the existing waist band/zip/buttons etc as they were, without removing them - so quick and quite easy once I had made a pattern from his own jeans.
Actually a great idea and I have upcycled 3 pairs so far and they look good - must remember to photograph my next pair!
I guess 2019 will mean much of the same - so plenty to keep me busy!
Wishing you a happy and healthy 2019.
All the best

Happy New Year Jo! Hope 2019 is a good year for you and the family. I think you and Annie should be on the Great British Sewing Bee, you're so inventive and talented and can turn your hands to anything!! I wouldn't even know where to start! Roll on June :-D

I’m a bit late, but no less meaningful when I send hugs for a very happy new year. Am slightly blown away by your recycling of the jeans, good grief is there anything you can’t do?! Not to wish the year away, but am really looking forward to our Crop!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo!
ReplyDeleteJust dashing by to say Happy 2019! I have jumped back on the WOYWW bandwagon and off I go into the crafting world and new adventures! See you on my way! 😊
Love and hugs,

Can I ask where you get the fabric for the Katie Morag Skirt please. I am making a doll but struggling to find a tartan match.
