In and around my sewing, I seem to spend a good bit of happy time just preparing. Today is one of those peaceful, puttering days.
A pair of husband's torn jeans pulled from the trash provide some gorgeous resist patterns. I'm not sure how I'll use these pieces yet, but they are so pretty, I think.
The pocket areas are my favorite but the back yoke and waistband also provide interesting possibilities.
I also like to have a few dye pots around the house. Husband is so very patient with these sometimes stinky endeavors. Here is one that carries on continuously - a small copper pot for my discarded tea bags. It contains some squares of cotton sateen.
Happy making!
Fun! Can't wait to see what comes of all this!
ReplyDeleteI also love jeans that have been pulled apart. You do better with your dyeing than me, but I am hoping to do some this week.
