Today Andee and I went to visit the lovely lady who will be our wedding celebrant so that took up most of our afternoon and now we are about to head out for dinner at a friends house. The papers of "intent to marry" are signed! and in a few months I will officially be Mrs Napiorkowski! I love it! how exotic sounding!
okay below the denim despec so far....
one pair of old jeans
My inspiration comes from this great utility belt I bought about a year ago.
This is not upcycled, but I love the idea of not having to carry a bag and
being able to slot the necessities into a belt (cash, phone, lippy)
chop the legs off
cut the back in half (I am going to use the back patch pockets as the utility pockets on my belt)
I am using my favourite belt shape as the pattern
creating a pattern with a large seam allowance as the denim is very thick
use the legs to cut the belt panels out
I think I might use this polka dot fabric as the backing of the belt and the pockets??
below are all of the pieces ready to sew
I am not sure whether to use a belt buckle or velcro??
check out tomorrow's blog for the finished product
craft out
xxoo
