Jean Therapy

06.15.17

How many of you own that one pair of jeans that feel like they’ve been molded to your shape because you’ve had them forever and there’s no other pair like them?  Welcome to my jean therapy post!

I started hyperventilating a few days ago, (and I’m not even exaggerating)!  Because I thought my husband had tossed out my favorite, ancient pair.   I’ve had them for probably 12 years and they look it but they are the most wonderful pair I have ever owned! This is them…

Pitiful I know!

You’re probably thinking, “girl, just toss ’em!”  But you have to understand that I use to not be a fan of jeans in my younger years.  I’ve always been very VERY—hot natured, and the idea of wearing jeans between March through October in Texas, was just plain dumb witted in my opinion.  I was a shorts and flip flops kinda girl during those months.

Things have changed over the years and so has denim!  While you have, the denim mixed in with poly and rayon making the overall jean more conforming it also makes them not last as long as 100% denim fabric.

Then you have the “already ripped” jeans (like my boyfriend jeans I’m wearing here), but those are just fun!   While we live in a throwaway society, I’m just not gonna toss something out cause of a few rips or tears.  Just haul out my sewing machine and raid my cutoff jean stash for patching, right?

There’s “salvageable” and then there’s “it’s time to toss out”!  My pair are probably at that point?!?  I need jean therapy!!!

Hence this post!

I started to research some patching jobs out there to see if I was alone on this topic and while some were just fun and downright entertaining, I knew in the end of my search that my pair, might possibly still have one last chance for salvaging.

Checkout the fun…

I just loved some of the creative options that were out there AND the embroidery work on some!!! Wow!

I’m thinking about going on the more creative approach this one and final time on my poor pair.  I’m not ashamed of my “hobo-looking” pair and the hubby is gonna have to back off a little while longer! 😉

    A doily would look amazing Jennifer! I just patched a bunch of little boy jeans with superheroes peeking through for the grandsons! They were a huge hit! Thanks for stopping by and send me a pic of yours when you get ’em done! ❤︎

    Thank you for your post. I have a pair which is ready for some creative updates too. I am just looking for the perfect fabric to peak through. I’m considering a doily. 😄

I’m all about it! And I love being able to be a part of the fun. This lil man turned 6. He was #1, the first to make me a Mimzy and help me realize a dream of being a g-ma!

Little did I know my future would involve making a “chicken” birthday shirt and I about thought I wouldn’t have time to finish it for the BIG DAY. Now that this one is complete, I need to talk the soon to be 4 year old that he needs to decide on his birthday shirt. Don’t want to be rushing and I don’t do well with the stress of deadlines anymore. (Things you start to appreciate in retirement mode!) But I sure do love being able to be around for special moments and celebrations like these. Is there anything sweeter? Love my babies❣️

Sunday dinner consisted of a baked chicken Parmesan casserole I made up and fresh bread! The 3 year old, (aka in- house) food critic, devoured his oil dipped 🥖 bread! I certainly had my fill. Is there anything better than warm -homemade bread?
