Tutorial: Refashion adult jeans into kids’ jeans

February 20, 2010 by Anne Weaver

Debbie from Squiggly Twigs Designs shares a free e-Class showing how to create a pair of kids’ jeans out of a pair of adult jeans.  What a great idea!!  Adult jeans are often easier to come by from tag sales or thrift stores, and usually don’t show as much wear as second-hand kids’ jeans.  Get the how-to in her free e-Class.

    Having trouble downloading the FREE refashion adult jeans to kids Jeans tutorial. It acts like the pdf is downloading but then (an hour later)I get this error..INTERNET EXPLORER HAS TIMED OUT. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a certain ADOBE version? Any help is appreciated. Having a real hard time finding jeans to fit my preschooler so I would love this tutorial. Thanks!

      No obvious solution is coming to mind. You might want to contact the PDF’s author to see if she can offer any help. –Anne

Sewing Pattern – DIY Beach Towel Bag

If you are like me you want an easy way to carry your towel and a few items to the beach but don’t want a bag just to hold those things.

So I came up with the idea to make a beach towel bag. This way it is a bag that can hold a few items but also function as your towel. I love it! I share with you how you can make your own beach towel bag.

This is an easy sewing project that is perfect for summer! I even made a few for my kids so they each have their own. Start sewing this fun bag today.
