Yellow Plaid Pants

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I found these super fun plaid pants at a thrift shop and had to have them. There was a small problem though...

A bit too big. 

I cut the front of the pants away from the back of the pants. And I cut them down in size to fit me. 

 

Then I sewed the front and back of the pants back together. 

 

I liked how they turned out. I liked the comfortable fit and I loved the bold colors. Thanks for reading along. For more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.

Jeans bird (Blue titmouse) wall hanging

 

You may remember the jeans wall hanging I made of our cat Max earlier this year. I really had fun making it so I was keen on trying it again. And when saw this drawing of a blue titmouse, made by Dutch artist Katja Dupont, I could imagine it being transformed in jeans. 

Katja makes beautiful drawings of animals with a fineliner, so if you like the blue titmouse, you should definitely take a look at her website Ijzerhart.net. 

As you can see I used fraying on the chest, the tail and the crest. I finished the little bird with some embroidery, I stitched the bird's legs and snail with blue gradient thread and used black thread with a white french knot for the little eye. I was really happy how it turned out and... I'm very glad that Katja also appreciated the transformation of her drawing in jeans!
