Ooo thanks! It's nice to know that I actually have been doing this right. ;-) I
have an ongoing project of bead embroidering a pair of jeans with an aquatic
theme. It looks like it will take longer than I expected...and now I'm thinking
that I want it COVERED in beads instead of just here and there. I want to
somehow figure out a way to make water surround everything without it looking
bad.
The bad thing: Since starting these jeans I've lost 30lbs and they don't fit
anymore! Haw! Doesn't that *suck*?!?! I guess before I get too far along I'll
need to take them in. But the whole point of the project wasn't really to wear
them, just to do it.

I have just done some beaded embroidery. A lady from the RCTN group set
a challenge sometime ago. The challenge was to see how many versions of
embroidery she could get using just one design. I did mine in beadwork.
I will post the URL later but all the pictures are not up yet.

I will send a picture of it to Marisa and maybe she will put it on her
site.

The bead embroidery tutorial is nice but this wouldn't work for me since I
never have a design on paper before working out what I want to do. I start
with a focal stone or bead and let the piece and colors tell me where they
want to go. But for those just starting out this is a good way to start to
learn.

I know a way you can turn them into a skirt, with a bit of waistband
adjustment, they may fit you then.

WOW! Go, Valerie, go! That happened to me back when I was a hippie. I
covered a pair of jeans in velvet patches and embroidery. Then I got skinny.

My first ex-husband now has them, and has for over 30 years. He doesn't
deserve them, either. Damn! I wish I hadn't felt guilty about leaving him,
and let him keep them!

It doesn't suck, not even a little bit. :-) Congratulations!

Kathy N-V, who found the 30 lbs that Valerie lost

LOL! You are right. The weight loss doesn't suck, but not being able to wear
them once I've finished does. :-) I'm sure I can alter them though with a bit
of trying, that or wear a belt (I never wear belts).

Valerie
PS Kathy...from what I'm hearing about your PT you'll be losing that weight
again. Even if you don't actually lose the pounds you'll make up for it in
muscle which usually means you drop sizes, just not weight.

Thanks for the offer. I'm figuring that I can make some kind of adjustment and
take the waist and some of the leg in, or keep them as is and wear a belt.
I don't know much about sewing, but I make do with the basics. Even though I
don't know stitches I can get pretty creative. And any messed up stitches that
I do make I can always cover with some more beads. :-)
