holey jeans + fabric squares = something cute


The last few days I've patched up three different pairs of my daughters holey jeans by fusing some cute fabric patches. I've also made some fun tees to match. These were all done quickly in the morning before she headed off to school. There are several more I need to repair. Now there won't be a need to go buy new ones!! :) And, how exciting is it to see your eight year old love what you've made more than those high priced designer clothes!

I love the little squirrels with umbrellas! They sure do fit in well in the rainy state of Washtingon!

A cute little deer!

Japanese deers, mushrooms, and some aqua darla!


I also did a bird set for her, but she is wearing that today, and I forgot to get a picture of her before she ran out the door.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!!

    That is so sweet. I'm sure I could find something that needs patching around here, so I can "copy" you. LOL

    I love it; creative, thrifty and your daughter loves her refurbished outfit...your 3 for 3...how wonderful. I just bought a new sewing machine, waiting for hubby to finish my new sewing table.

    Have a great day!

    My boys are going through their jeans so bad this year- Levi's, mostly- and they fit great but they're falling apart at the knees! Thank you for the inspiration. I am so going to do that.
