Denim Love

I'm sure you all remember my very first blog spot about my Denim Angel jacket.  Ever since, I have been in love with the fabric.  So when my boyfriend text me one day last week and asked if I wanted two pairs of his old jeans I couldn't resist!  I was on fall break last week so I spent to try out some much needed DIY.

First thing I did with one pair of jeans was transform them into a vest.  I received the jeans in the mail around noon and I made this and finished it around 4 p.m.  I cut the pockets and used the back of leg fabric for the neck piece and the back piece that wraps around my waist.  I also added a bow in the back with the left over fabric.  

Second thing I made was a denim skirt from the other pair of jeans.  I basically cut off the bottom half and found lace from a pair of old curtains and sewed it all together.  You can also the bow I added in the back of the vest.  I'm also wearing a pearl headband I got from Dollar General for about $3 and my shirt is from Studio Y but I got it for a $1 while thrifting.

I had so much fun doing this projects and FINALLY getting to warm up my new sewing machine.  Hopefully in a few days I'll have even more DIY projects if I can get more fabric.  In a few days I will have some fall and Halloween blogs.  Fall is here and it's time for fall fashion!

Love,
