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.
Look for a Gilmore Girls Quilt Along coming August 20, 2025, also on Fandom in Stitches!

Friends! Progress has been made on the t-shirt quilt repair, and I made a shirt! A whole one that fits who it is supposed to fit and everything! Up this week, LOTS of quilting to finish a birthday gift and a couple of charity quilts that will go back to Jewells.
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:

Happy Tuesday, friends! This week, I chat with you about progress on the t-shirt quilt repair, repairing my favorite jeans, a new to me project for my BFF, @nmjewells, and my recent thrift haul from Austin Creative Reuse!
This week, I’m celebrating 5,000 subscribers with a special project, showcasing a new thrifted blouse makeover, discussing how to mend pajama pants, and showing off the new strap for the X-Men messenger bag I shared last week.
This week’s Show & Tell is all about Repair & Reuse. I chat about an upcycled Switch case, the T-Shirt quilt rescue project, and a new repair project for an old bag, as well as some odds and ends.
I am continuing to make updates to my website, especially the pattern and tutorial archives. Lots of older patterns and tutorials have already been added back to the archives with lots more on the way!
