Life has been full of travel and moving around the last 4 years. I have lived in 5 states, Texas, Oregon, Washington, California and most recently Colorado. The only constant has been I have been able to come back to my house in New Mexico for quick visits. Everything was boxed up in a hurry and put away with the exception of a few things. Well all that changed this year with the Covid-19 outbreak. We are now in New Mexico until things change. I have been unpacking and repacking boxes. All the boxes have been moved to the "family room" where my sewing space was set up for some time. The longarm machine was moved to Colorado last summer and I hope to be able to get back there so I can use it again.
I finally moved my sewing machine and some basic things back upstairs so I can enjoy some sewing again. That family room was not a pleasant place to sew with all those boxes. I have been back to sewing clothes again this past year. I started this pair of jeans six weeks ago in Colorado and took them with me (as well as some other projects) when we packed a truckload of things to come to New Mexico to isolate ourselves.
This is my second pair of jeans from this pattern. I made a similar pocket on the blue denim pair but they were not as deep. They looked nice but are not that practical so for this pair I really increased the length of these self drafted pockets. The top stitching is in a grey but looks white in the photo. Now that it is all set up I hope to get sewing on these jeans and start posting them and my other sewing, quilting projects on a regular basis.
I have a quilt top just finished that just needs to be pressed and photographed so that will be posted here soon.
