Graffiti Jeans

My 11 year old daughter Emily and I love to sew and refashion clothing together. She had the idea to take a pair of ankle-length black jeans that were too short and still fit in the waist and remove color by flicking and painting bleach onto them (outside of course), basically reverse dying. She also cut them shorter in an interesting design and left them unhemmed. I asked her how she would describe the hem for me. She said she just cut violently. Great way to release pent up tension and frustration I suppose. She is very pleased with the results and wears them often. In the first picture she is shown with her four year old brother. 

Emily wants to be a fashion designer. She used to have her own blog called Super Stitches which she had had since she was 8, but it was removed due to her age. She will be blogging again soon as a guest blogger on my blog from time to time. The new feature will be called Emily's Corner. In a few weeks she will share a dress that she designed and made without a pattern. We blog at Sewing With Trudy.
