How to Hem your Jeans

You know when you buy those great jeans and you are so excited to wear them and they are too long!?! This usually happens to me, I am impulsive, so I simply cannot wait for someone to do it for me (it's usually at night and everywhere is closed anyway). So, for those of us who want everything now, we have to learn to do things ourselves! Like taking up the hems on our jeans. Chances are, we have spent so much on the fabulous jeans we can't afford to pay someone else to do it.

Check out our YouTube tutorial on hemming jeans.

Emporio Armani Spring Summer 2014

 
We are inspired by the use of applique in the garments.  This is a technique we all can do on our sewing machines. We love the use of a touch of flora on the blazer, its a perfect blend of masculine and feminine. Creative.

What we cooked today

We are not shy to try new combinations of food, so we decided to try a pasta dish by Curtis Stone we found on www.taste.com.au with kale,chickpeas and dates. It was super easy and quick to make, and for someone who isn't a fan of chickpeas (Kate), it was fantastic!!! We will be adding this one to our mid-week favourites.

Embroidery on the Pfaff Creative Sensation

After 6D Professional Software training, we decided to stitch out one of the designs we 'put together' in the software.  On the pink colour we tried out some 'Puffy Foam' which gave the design a different dimension. Margaret will be making the sample into a cushion later.
