Stencil Some Weekend Jeans

I think a lot of women have that one pair of super baggy jeans…or at least one! I got these jeans but then felt really uncomfortable wearing them. I usually wear skinny jeans that are more fitted through the legs so these baggy jeans made me worry that the look wasn’t right. I was going to cut them up and turn them into scrap fabric, but then I realized that maybe they would work with a little love!

First, I grabbed a letter stencil and wrote a quote I love from a song by Shannon and the Clams. I had bought a bunch of strawberry patches and was waiting for the right project. Well lo and behold, the back pockets were the perfect spot! So I stitched them on with a needle and thread. I accidentally pricked my finger like a million times, but no worries! I’m ok! (I suck at sewing by hand and don’t have the patience to practice.). After that was done, I folded up the cuffs. It is so annoying when the cuffs roll down when I’m wearing them, so I tried a patch of fusible web. It would not stick the cuffs in place, so I sewed them down with my sewing machine and a wide zig zag stitch. Here’s a walkthrough in pics!
