Quilt and Skirt!!

I am 24 Weeks pregnant now....more than HALF way HOORAY!!!  I have been making our baby girl a quilt, and Klancee felt left out.  SO....... I patched all the scraps together and made this CUTE skirt.  Klancee calls it her BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS!!  I love how it turned out, and I LOVE this pattern...I am not much of a seamstress......but this skirt is so so easy and fun!!  The pattern is a Portabellopixie it is so so cute!!

Here is a sneak peek at LUCI's quilt...I just need to get it quilted and then bind it!!  HooRaY...I may just finish it in time!!  I loved this pattern for the main reason that I didn't have to match any corners together...and the other reason ....... I LOVE THE RUFFLES!!!  This quilt was also so simple!!

Patching Jeans

I just learned how to patch my jeans...and they actually look good!! So I thought I would pass it on to you! I had so many pictures for you on step by step and wouldn't you know they got deleted. JUST MY LUCK! So I will just have to explain it.....here we go.

These jeans actually had a stain where I patched it. I LOVE these jeans but the stain wouldn't come out, probably because it was polyurethane, oops!

I made a slit with my scissors and then I used a razor blade to fray the edges. I cut out a LARGE piece off of some of my jeans that are not salvageable..much larger then the hole, to make it easier to work with and I pinned it on the underside of the hole. I then sewed with a zig zag stitch vertically and then horizontally LOTS AND LOTS! Once it is sewn on good and secure turn your jeans inside out and cut the patch back to size...and TADA you have cute IN STYLE jeans!
