Lesson's from a crazy sewing lady!

Swift Jim gave me all his old "fat" jeans to repurpose into new things to sell at the markets and my online shop. So tonight I got busy making some funky wrist cuffs.
After a couple of hours worth of sewing, and seriously offending my sewing machine in the meantime (I broke the needle, then it decided to sew backwards!!) I was quite happy with the results of my evening's work.....

That was until I started packing up. As I started to fold the jeans up to put away for further repurposing I looked at the pockets and thought to myself... "Gee they are girly pockets".... HANG ON!!! They ARE girly pockets!!!! THEY ARE MY JEANS!!!!!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My nice jeans gone :( I sure hope those wrist cuffs sell at the market on the weekend!!! Maybe I need to label them "designer"?

Oh no!! I'd be gutted if I did that!

But then again, with all the weight you've been losing, it's probably time for new jeans soon anyway, right?

I just have to laugh!

Emily Sue said...

Yep. Laugh... and go shopping! ;)

Oh. Dude. Good one Beck! Is it okay that I laughed a little bit? I hope you sell enough wrist bands that you can afford some replacement jeans!!

Swift Jan said...

It's ok that you laughed. Dan and I were laughing a lot when I realised. He genuinely thought it was hilarious. I was laughing because if I didn't laugh, I would cry!!!
Such a wally!

OH no, oh no, oh no! But I couldn't help but laugh. That is SOOO much what I would end up doing.

So, you've got some trendy short shorts for summer, then?
