Repurpose old jeans pants

Few days ago, I decluttered my closet and found this old jeans pants that I used to wear 16 years ago sitting in my closet. And of course, it's not a surprise anymore that this pants still fits on me because I have never gained any weight except after giving birth to my three children.

Since it's still wearable, it'd be such a waste if I throw it away and I also wanted to wear it again but not with that cut. So, my options were cutting it short or making it slim. However, I was not confidence enough to turn a boot cut leg pants into a skinny jeans so I went with  my other option, which was turning it into a pair of shorts . That would be so much easier and I kinda have a shortage of short pants as well. I can save cash to buy something else and the shorts would fit perfectly on me. For this shorts, I made it into rolled style.

And I didn't stop there. I still had the leftover and have seen so many tutorials on how to make bag out of old jeans. And once again, I couldn't help myself for not trying that too. 

It's a reversible jeans bag, by the way.

And now I want to make more.

Happy sewing!!

Polkadot Boxy Top

I spent the entire day just to make this simple boxy top yesterday. This is my second attempt to make boxy top. I made the first one almost a year ago and it didn't turn out really good but still wearable. Let me show you my first boxy top.

And here is my second attempt ...

Polkadot and stripe

Ribbon label

Though it's better than my first boxy top, it didn't go as I planned. My first plan was to attach peter pan collar on this boxy top but in the process, I cut the neck hole too big so I had to make some pleats on the neck line to make it smaller. I thought it would be too much if I still attached the collar on it. 

So my next to-do list is to make another boxy top with peter pan collar on it for my daughter. 

Happy Sewing
