Rockin Jeans

These were really fun to make!!!!!
Here is what I started with....
.....a pair of jeans with a hole in the knee. I love these jeans, but not the hole so I decided to do something to cover it. I didn't want to put a patch on them so I did an applique instead. I googled guitar images and found one that i liked the shape of. My husband enlarged it and printed it out for me. I cut out each piece and traced it on fabric and fusible webbing. I cut them out and ironed the fusible webbing onto the fabric. Then I pieced it all together on the jeans and ironed it down. Then I sewed around the edges of each piece. I used silver metallic thread to sew the strings.
Now Dakota has an awesome pair of jeans!!!!
And I didn't have to go buy another pair to replace the torn up ones.

that is too cool - i love it and so will my son and i will have to make it for my daughter too
That is WAY cool! I have a hard time getting my sewing machine to sew inside the jeans - how do you do that?
You have to open one of the seams. I open the outside seam because it's easier for me to sew back without being able to tell I ever did anything to it.
My kids have a few pair of jeans with holes in the knees. I need to give this a try!!
