Jeans - Almost
The jeans have been finished (almost) for a few days now. They are completely sewn up, but I have yet to give them the worn out look. I have done a few tests with fabric paint, but I think I’m going to try some sandpaper.
I love all the topstitching. It’s not red like it looks in the picture, but more of tan-ish color. I didn’t sew on the belt loops as the pattern called for. I figure I can add those later if I wish.
I did add the fake front fly. And if I were to do it again, I would do it differently. I just stitched the general shape of a fly. I think actually putting in a fake fly is much better. Oh well, at least I learned something.
In other news, fall has or is arriving here in the midwest. All the gardens are being harvested, the weather is cooling and school has started. I saw, what I’m sure, is my last veggie stand of the summer today. :( I am always saddened to see them go. I look forward each year to the arrival of the stands, for it brings corn. Not just any corn either, but the most delicious corn ever! And now all the summery goodness is gone for this year. And I must go back to frozen or canned.

WOW! I’m so glad I found your site! I adore the topstitching on the jeans. I also really like those WIP bars.
Those look great! I made some of those jeans for my boys last fall and I want to make them more this year. They look really cool on.
Love them!! One day I hope to tackle a pair of jeans for my toddler. I don’t know why they intimidate me so much. You did a gorgeous job!
Great job! They look really nice :0)
