the dreaded pocket tear

They make jeans all broken in now cost a fortune and wear out fast. WHY? because they make them all beat up and the fibers are weak.
Everyone wants their pants like jammies.

Blue Jeans repair

Here's the finished product short of reweaving the fabric as a home sewer its all I can do













































I sewed some jean material to the back of what we used to call dungarees. Farmers, boys, people who worked hard wore dungarees. Now they are ridiculous prices and shotty quality selling like hot cakes go figure.
They still make work jeans but they aren't cool I guess.

This was for family member well... I have warned him now.
After broken needles and drawing blood. I fixed the rent next to (always ) the pocket where that nail thing is.
It ends up like sewing with the presser foot up causing a big snarly mess of thread.
I guess you could use the darning foot. I haven't tried it.

more pajamas

I I thought the camoflage was a good choice for a top. Both pieces are 100% cotton it cost about $7.00 to make. A big savings and much better quality.The little boy I made these for suddenly grew I added a band. They have bands on ghee's It works.

pajamas

Here they are finished I paid $1.50 a yard and its nice flannel not the thin loosely woven junk. Its good quality. I prewashed it before I cut it out. Its not wrinkly either. It has a soft hand.


I made a binding for the hem because the kids seem to favor these jammies and the hems fall down.

I have used my Dritz easy hemmer for the casing that is the best tool ever
