My new tool~The AccuQuilt Go!

Yep, I finally took the plunge and ordered this yesterday while it was on sale. It arrived this morning, and now to re-organize my sewing room, so I can use it. I have a custom quilt that I am working on, & 3 more people waiting in line to pick their colors, & theme. (So I need this tool!) Merry Christmas to me!!! I feel sorry for my broken piggy bank, but if I spend more time sewing, & less time cutting, I think it may pay for itself in a few months.

Blue Jean Apron 2


Posted by Picasa Hot off the sewing machine is my second up-cycled blue jean apron. Bet ya can't tell who is my favorite basketball team in the NBA? The San Antonio Spurs of course.....
Well technically the jeans are black....I thought the print would work better than using blue colored jeans, but now that I'm thinking about it, the silver color in the print would go nicely with "blue" jeans.....
HMMMM, guess I better get busy de-constructing a pair of blue ones.

At Wed. workshop, I did quite a bit of un-sewing....not much fun, but the light was good, & I became re-acquainted with my seam ripper.

Blue Jean Apron


Posted by PicasaThis is a project that I have had laying around the house for ever.....
My friend Glo has had a blue jean apron hanging in her kitchen for years that someone had bought for her from a local BBQ joint. Hers where made from an old pair of men's wranglers. Well I finally got her to take it down, & let me see if I could make one myself....I've had that apron now for 3 months! She will be very glad to get it back.......
This is a pair of Mudd Jeans that the front snap broke, so I cut the rear out, & here ya go.....Definitely not your mother's old apron.....too bad I used a low-grade cotton, but I didn't want to waste any high-quality quilting fabric on an experiment, but in all, I think it looks pretty cool.
