No, the purpose of this picture is not to show you my ugly feet! It is only to show off my new/old pants!
I am soooo tired of going shopping for clothes and not finding what I need or want! I don't wear shorts (for modesty reasons), so for months now, I have been looking for some capris / cropped pants / whatever you call them...my great grandma used to call them clam-diggers. :) It has been next to impossible to find ones that fit, that I like, AND that are not too expensive.
So, this afternoon I decided to take matters into my own hands! I had several pairs of jeans that I bought and after a few washings they shrunk and were too short for me. Rather than just give them away, I kept them hanging around, thinking I might use them for some sewing project someday. Well, today was their day! I chopped them off, gave them some new hems (the ones in the pic even got a little cuff!), and now I have two new pairs of summer pants. And, it didn't cost a thing! (Except for the double denim needle that I broke...oops!)
I love my sewing machine!
