see, i can be crafty too
18 Feb
I am not the craftiest of mamas. I have some very crafty friends who have Etsy shops and handmade window treatments in their faux-finished living rooms, and I SO admire their skills. I’m just very lazy in the crafts department. But this morning when I looked at the growing by the second hole in my favorite pair of jeans, I decided to do something about it. I busted out the old sewing box my mom gave me years ago and fished around for a solution. And what did I find? A Led Zeppelin patch I got from the record store I worked in 15 YEARS AGO. Here’s what went through my head at this discovery…
Holy crap, I’m one of those old people with band patches from decades ago!
Would I look totally ridiculous if I sewed this patch on my jeans?
I don’t freaking care if I do look ridiculous. I have to act fast or my favorite jeans will be no more.
And then I looked at that nasty hole in my jeans and said, “I’m about to get crafty on your ass.”
And so I did. It’s not perfect, and if you look at the sewing from inside the jeans, it’s a hot mess. But, I’m proud of myself for being somewhat domestic. I even took a picture of myself with the end result. Notice the urban graffiti background to enhance the rock-n-roll jeans experience. This was taken near the infamous Krog Street tunnel in Atlanta.
Ooooh – I think it looks cute!
I love this! You’ve got your smoky-eyed model face on. The pants look great. Work it!!!
