More Distressed Jean Projects

Yikes, someone dropped a plane-load of relatives off at our house over the MLK weekend, so it was off to the studio for Distressed Jeans 201 (for 101 see this post two years ago.)

Heather picked pink stars to spell her name and the Japanese symbol for Love, but I was a little surprised when Sol picked a Jane Sassaman fabric to wrap his name around the leg of his jeans…

But Sol is an artistic guy and always painting his shirts and shoes to make them unique. When I asked him what the girls think of his flamboyant clothes, he said, “Why do you think I do it?”

    I think the jeans are cool too! The Jane Sassaman fabric is just right. But how in the world do you get the legs into the sewing machine to sew the letters on?

    I agree: the fabric is perfect for Sol’s name! Wish I’d had a cool aunty like you when I was growing up!

    Love the jeans. I will just have to try that myself. My grandkids will love this idea and i can’t wait to tackle my own jeans.
