Do You See What I See?

Yes!!! There is a pin still in the “S,” but we ran out of bobbin and didn’t have the strength to reload. I swear...the bobbin always runs out on me. It never fails! I used to get all bent out of shape when that happened/happens, but now I just laugh that this occurs on such a regular basis. Anyway, along with doing these projects each day from Threadbanger, we also have a few other things going on. We are working on some more needle punch art and are working with muslin and gesso to create soft bodied pieces. The little guys we are making are turning out to be pretty cute (they are pretty and they are cute), but they are messy because paint is involved. I used to be very careful not to get paint on myself in the past, but now I fling it all over the place. So, it’s about time we did this next staple project...the apron! Aprons are IN and we couldn’t be happier because we love them! Of course, we had to add a POCKET!!! Without a pocket it just would not be complete. The only other detail that is missing from these cute coverups is a little gesso and paint splatter, but that won’t take too long to happen. We may even have to cook up some tasty treats with these awesome artistic aprons! Make yours here!


We tired to be a little witty (aka...cheesy) with our words tonight. The traditional “beet” is spiced up with MJ’s “Beat It” and the bacon and eggs is soy of course. :) What’s the material you ask? Goodwill jeans!!! This only cost us $6.50 to make and we got two aprons and we have material left over to make some other projects! Awesome! We would have used our own jeans, but we have not yet worn them out completely. Granted...one of my pairs has huge holes, but we just going to patch them up! No need to recycle just yet.

  4. These are so simple! :) Just take an old jean and cut one of the pant legs off. Cut down the seam and you will have a rectangle. Not just hem the the bottom and side edges. Turn the top over and add some of the extra material for the string. Add details as you like and you're done!
