Removing Jean Pockets

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I found these jeans at a thrift store and they were super soft. They felt like sweat-pant-jeans. I loved them and thought hey would be so comfy. 

Do you see something is a little "off"? What is up with these pockets??

 

I had to remove the lopsided pockets. I unpicked the stitches from the inside so I would not damage the front of the jeans. 

 

There were some white marks from the stitches on the front of the jeans. I used black and blue permanent markers to make little dots on the white marks. It sounds crazy but it filled in the missing color really well.

 

I liked the plain dark wash without any pockets (Or stitch marks.) on the front. Thanks for reading a lot, to see more go to I Can Work With That.

Hi everyone,

The 14th anniversary Refashion co-op in February encouraged me to do some digging into the archives and statistics. For example, which blog posts were popular over the years, which refashions are unforgettable (too many!). Where do our readers come from (all over the world!) etc etc. I'll be sharing some fun facts and throwback refashions with you in the coming months. After all, Refashion Co-op is a treasure trove filled with refashion gems worth cherishing. 

Best read post
One of the things I wanted to find out is which post had gotten the most views over the years, I was curious!

Well, here it goes: out of 7982 posts(!), the best read post is Bow sleeve t-shirt by Andrea (aka Little did you know). Her post was published on march 7th in 2012 and has been viewed over 247.000 times (yes really)!

Now the fun part is that Andrea mentions in her post that she actually got her idea from fellow Refashion Co-op blogger Ruby Murray! And Ruby had shared her refashion 'long sleeve to bow sleeve' here a year before, in march 2011.

So you could say that Ruby and Andrea both were responsible for the most populair post on Refashion Co-op! Congratulations to you both, it's such a fun and simple idea. I immediately liked it when I saw it and I absolutely want to try it myself.

What's your favourite refashion shared here on Refashion Co-op? Let us know in the comments!

Ruby explains the whole process in her post and if you're into easy projects, you should look into it. According to Ruby it's 'quick and easy and you'll be done before you know it'! I guess that's my cue, until next time!
