T-Shirt Quilt Rescue FINISH! (TTMT #844 Quilting Show and Tell)
Leave a reply
Hello, friends!
I wasn’t up for recording a video this week, but I finished the t-shirt quilt rescue last week, and I REALLY wanted to share. I hope you don’t mind this short and sweet format.

Video Tutorial – Repairing the crotch of my favorite jeans
Journey with me as I repair the crotch of my favorite jeans! With apologies for the random sound issues. My microphone decided this was its last video!
I used the legs from a pair of thrifted jeans with a similar stretch for replacement fabric. I already had those on hand, so this repair cost me $0 in additional materials.
You can use the seam ripper of your choice to repair your jeans, but if you like what I’m using, you can find those here:

- My favorite tiny seam ripper, the Mini Seam Fix
- Havel’s Seam Ripper*
- Mini Glass Scraper*
- Gold Heavy Duty Thread* (I used upholstery thread, which is what I had on hand, but you can use gold for a more authentic jeans look)
- Denim Organ needles* or use the brand of your choice
More Tutorials!
