Here’s a project my daughter, Madeline, did over the weekend with a pair of red jeans we found at a garage sale for $1. She has been looking for some red jeans to make into high waisted shorts and these were perfect for what she had in mind. Here they are before:
She just cut off the pant legs and hemmed them.
After trying a couple of times to make the legs even lengths, she decided it would be a good idea to measure. {She learns more quickly than I do!} Here’s how they look now:
She’s wearing them with a shirt she made in her fashion design class last semester.
I love that she has the vision to see the potential in things.

She did a great job! They look fabulous. It’s great to be able to see potential in things like that.
Thanks! She likes clothes, so this skill definitely helps her get the kind of wardrobe she wants.
How very clever of her. She did a great job ans she’s the cutest little thing
Thank you, Roxanne!
