My first (and only) completed pair!!


These are also Weathervane brand jeans, size 7. I just bought them last year so they are a little different style than the others. I saw a similar design to this applique on a pair of jeans that went for $425 on a designer jeans website. I sat down one night and put this applique on in 3 hours. The clouds are stuffed with cloth scraps to give them a little extra texture.

Back bottom of left leg

Back pocket close up. This was taken from a pair of Alicia's Gymboree jeans that she destroyed. I thought it was cute and slapped it on there. As I was sewing the top I thought it looked like a ruler so I made it look more like one!

Full back view. Was kind of blurry so I sharpened it but it still looks weird. There is a pretty dark purple ribbon I sewed around the waistband because they kept falling down with all the darn stretch they put in them these days! I like stretch in the legs but not the waistband.

This is on the front right knee. I wear through that knee usually first for some reason. I also cut the bottom hem off these because they were stupid long and I really like how they look without it. Slight fraying but its stretchy fibers so they are really white. The wash of these jeans is really dark blue.
