MUDD JEANS with PINK FLOWER POWER Embroideries...

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:57:59 -0400

$25.00
Size 5
90% Cotton
8% Polyester
2% Spandex
MUDD brand

Adorable stretch jeans for someone small. Perfect large flower machine embroidery designs adorn the lower side of the right leg and the left back. No pockets in these jeans, just flowers and a cute bumble bee.
The wide low rise waist is adorned with large decorative belt loops, all brass eyelets in two sizes and domed rivets and not only is there a lace up front there's no zipper! I added a border along the hem edge of each leg in a semi sheer wrinkle fabric in a muted pink-ish purple-ish floral design and as usual I made a hand made tag to match and sewed that into the waist band. Oh, I almost forgot, there's one single bead in the centre of the flower on the back.

These Mudd brand jeans are more worn than jeans I usually pick up and that's why I'm only asking $25.00.
Remember, free shipping and a free gift with each purchase.

MAXINE’S MINI MESSENGER 1

Carry art…

This adorable mini messenger is as perfect for a day at the county fair, the flea market, a craft/art show or a jazz festival as it is for an evening out. Just large enough for your wallet, calculator, pencil/pen, note pad, cell phone, lip balm, a pair of readers and those all-important business cards you picked up.

Made of various upholstery fabrics, leather, beads, buttons and other trinkets. This bag is crafted 100% from scratch.

Dimensions
10” tall
7” wide
1 ½” deep
The shoulder strap is 38 ½ “ long and 1 ¼” wide

There are 4 pockets in different sizes including one on the back and a pencil/pen pocket on the inside edge so it’s out of the way and big enough for one of those fat pens or pencils if you like. Each is different, hand made as well and fully lined.

The clasp is a special design by me and is magnetic. I looked for purse clasps and saw some neat ones but when I say 'hand made' I really do mean 'hand made'. So I decided to put one together. I’m happy with the way it turned out. I used a vintage 1980’s button cover and magnets. I spent many, many hours on this little sweetheart (actually I lost count a long time ago) and I just couldn't see installing a store bought clasp.

The beaded flap…I guess you could say the main feature of this bag is the beaded flap. It includes machine appliqué with hand beading and other trinkets. I bead with quality beading thread and apply beads one at a time. Every bead is one stitch. There are no strings of beads. I feel for this particular piece it is more attractive and also more secure so it is less likely that you will drop any beads. See note below regarding my guarantee.

The strap is leather and upholstery fabric, is interlined and decorated with jeweled buttons.

The bag is fully lined.

There’s a key strap with a solid brass clip.

Last but not least is my label. Also hand made from scratch.

Please ask for my blog address for more images of this item. I turned it inside out to show the pockets and the lining.

Note…I stand behind everything I offer, I use quality thread and my work is very secure from stitches to beads and all other embellishments. However, if something does happen to your bag such as a section begins to separate, stitches begin to come loose or beads begin to drop, I will replace and or repair at no charge to you including shipping. This should not be confused with other types of irregularities such as fraying, unevenness and even loose stitches (unless they are causing something to separate) as these are to be expected and are natural characteristics of this hand made item.

Thank you so much for admiring my first Mini Messenger

GEISHA EMBROIDERED JEANS 13 embroideries dragonflies coy fish

GEISHA EMBROIDERED JEANS

Limmited Too brand
Size 7
98% cotton 2% spandex
Med Dark Grey
Med to short length
Med flare legs
Med weight
Low Rise
Machine embroidered my me... Maxine

There are 13 embroidery designs in all

~7 dragonflies all placed and stitched individually in two sizes on the left lower leg. They are a pale beige with a med dark brown outline and veining. One photo shows a close-up.
~2 leafy designs on lower right leg. Green with the same pale beige.
~3 geishas, one on back left thigh looking back (that's clever huh), one on right back pocket and one on right front thigh
~1 coy fish design on left back pocket

These are resale jeans in excellent condition. There are no distressed areas and the color is quite even except for slightly lighter areas of usual fading.

I washed and dried them after embroidering. I wanted to make sure the designs would stay intact and I closely inspected all the embroidery for any potential loose threads or any other problems. They are fine and dandy and ready to wear the moment you take them out of the package.

Remember to follow the washing instructions I send along with the garment and they will last for many many years to come.

These jeans are very comfortable and the Asian inspired embroidery designs are striking and colorful. The back pockets were removed to stitch the embroideries then replaced when finished. When I work on jeans and have to re-stitch seams like the pockets, etc. I use heavier than usual thread and use a double stitch. That's where even though you are sewing in the regular direction it continuously backs up stitch by stitch so all the stitches are doubly reinforced. That way I'm confident nothing happens to MY seams.
