I've had a pile of Mr. Handsome's old, holy work jeans lying around for a while, and I decided to finally do something with them. So, I hopped onto my all-time favorite go-to website...handy dandy Pinterest... and found some cute ideas for re-purposing old jeans! {I have learned how to do so many new things via Pinterest!}
I have SO many friends and family members who are having babies in the next few months, so I decided to whip up some cute baby gifts. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures during the sewing process, but I will post the links to the original and very helpful tutorials.
{I bet Mr. Handsome never knew his old jeans could look so cute!}
These adorable jean skirts were SO easy to make, and I was very pleased with how they turned out! The only other item of clothing I have ever sewn is pajama pants, so it was fun to open up my world a little bit. The original tutorial is by Jill from Homemade by Jill, but she writes the tutorial as a guest blogger on Kojo Designs. The link to the tutorial is {HERE}.
My finished product:
The bibs were even easier than the skirts, I think, and they turned out so cute! The dark denim bib is definitely my favorite. See the cute purple flower fabric? My Mom had a dress made out of that exact fabric when she was a little girl. This is a leftover scrap. Kind of cool:) I found the denim bib tutorial at Thimbly Things by Kristena Derrick. There are so many creative people out there! The link to the denim bib tutorial is {HERE}
My completed bibs...(I still have a few more to finish!):
Not perfect, but they have a little character! I can't wait to try a skirt on an adorable little baby girl....a few more months!! Happy crafting!
