it's in his jeans
This week I made Harvey some jeans.
ready to rumble
I upcycled an old pair of Dan's jeans which had become too patched to be worn in polite company. I was going to make a simple pair of linen pants using this tutorial, but it turns out that I hate learning basic skills. If it can be done in linen, it can be done in jean, dammit! So after a lot of fudging and improvising an addition of knit fabric for the waist-band, I ended up making a cute pair of jeans for Harvey with plenty of room to grow (both vertically and horizontally).
shake what yo mamma gave you
The patches and slight bell-bottom and general cobbled-together nature of the pants make Harvey look like a real hippy. Much to the pride of his parents. The look is perfect for sitting outside on a gardening afternoon.
off the grid and out of the shitstem
I just need to make him a straw hat and he'll be all ready for spring!
comments
A straw hat would be awesome!! I would totally want one too. I'm already jealous of the jeans.
Also, you'll note that in the last picture he's already living off the land: i.e., eating grass.
Yum, grass :) Very nice Leah!
