Sew Much Fun for Valentines Day

Totally inspired by my friend Jen to get creative and dust off the old sewing machine - I embellished these jeans for Maria for her school Valentines Day party. What a great time we had going to the store and buying little remnants - then I made patch appliques with satin stitched edging and fusible web. Fringe ribbon was put on the front pockets and around the top of the ruffle.

Now I am begging Mike for a serger and ruffler foot for my sewing/embroidery machine.

I can't wait until she comes home from school so she can try them on!

Now, onto the First Communion Gown. I am taking apart my wedding veil and some applique off of my gown to make it!

Thanks Mom and Jen Wilderness!
