sew cool

lately i have been in a phase where i figure if i am not buying any clothes i have the itch to fix something i dont wear to something i want to wear.

i got two pairs of jeans at uniqlo in nyc and the cut of them became my favorite.
so i figured i would apply this to other pants i dont enjoy wearing because of the cut.
the first pair to go under the needle were some american apparel cords that have been passed through a few hands and found themselves with me. after slimming them down they are now some of my "new" favorite pants.
tonight i went to work on two more jeans (more american apparels and some 20$ capital e's from a year ago that weren't very slim at all)

i also havent worked in imovie in a while and thought this would be a good opportunity for some play time with that.
so enjoy this five minute video of me sewing two pairs of pants with animal collective's 'brother sport'



on the same note, i have some graphic t's that i just cant part with but dont fit anymore, does anyone have any suggestions of good projects to give them a second life?
