Only a quick update, my desk is the dining room table, because look!!! I got the sewing machine out. I cant remember the last time i used this! I kept looking at my allotment jeans i cut up to make an allotment apron and decided it definitely needed edging. Not only to make it neater but to cut down on the fraying and make it look nicer
It looks a lot better trimmer around the edge and i also sewed round the pocket to reinforce it too.
That's it from me, so what's on your workdesk this Wednesday?

Glad to see you using that sewing machine !!!!!! I did so much with it years ago, Now a paper junkie I guess. Hope you have Sunshine your way. It's been awhile HIGH wind today and storms tomorrow. Stay Safe our weather pattern sucks. Happy WOYWW and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteCute apron! I finally got my sewing room back when Dear Son moved out, but I still need to have my machine serviced before I can attack the pile of "mending" that needs to be done by machine. Your patch job is quite nicely done - have you seen the little looms for decorative patching? Something like...easy weave maybe? Not sure - I have one but not found time to use it. I'll come back to you if I can find it.... tidying up always means stuff gets ...lost for a bit. This morning I was trying to find a whole 5-drawer rolling cart and I just could not figure out where it was living after last week. DOH!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, but sadly catless

ReplyDeleteThese look just like my dog walking pants that I've worn for years though they do feel a bit tighter now Lol! I do have three pairs so might have to use one pair to fix the others. Have a lovely creative woyww, Angela x11x
ReplyDeleteVery creative apron! Should serve you well. My jeans always wear out in the same spot - crazy! I think I have some that need fixing...Have a wonderful week! Lindart #16
ReplyDeleteGreat apron with two nice pockets. Well done with the sewing Angela #15
ReplyDeleteThere is no sign of a sewing machine on my desk or dining table I can tell you! a well done on those two jobs, the apron looks splendid…less upcycled than the jeans actually! I reckon it’s the tick seaming coming to meet and all the rubbing that causes that makes em ear at the crutch first….it’s the shape of us girlies…our thighs are lovelier…Barts jeans go at the knee first, says a deal about him I think!!
