A Blanket Stitch...


 Well... On one of my days off this week I had a bunch of silly errands that needed to get done. Ugh! My reward for getting these done and not procrastinating was to stop by a thrift store. Yay! My big exciting purchase was a pair of Old Navy jeans with a hole in them for .50 cents. Another Yay! The only problem was, the hole was in a place that you could not wear unless fixed. So... For .50 cents I said, I could definitely fix this... 






The Blanket stitch is a very easy and pretty stitch. But I won't lie, it was very hard to pull the needle through the jeans. That is why you see me using my Granddaddy's pliers. You also will see my very furry helper "Todd," he was named from the Disney movie, "The Fox and the Hound." Such a sweet movie and a sweet kitty. Meow...









Now... Here is a very fancy gadget I can't live without, when sewing! Those of you that know me ~ know that I can't see anything smaller than a apricot. It really is ridiculous! The name of this fancy gadget is a "Thread Threader." Like that?!




This was a fun, fast and .50 cent project for me! I didn't have to buy any of the materials used. Another Yay! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend...

Ps. Thank you Olivia for letting me use your MacBook for this post! My computer seems to have a mind of it's own...
