Rejuvenating old jeans with a cheerful patch and how it comes about x
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- A cheery extra piece hopefully inspiring people to #stitchitdontditchit - I ripped very beloved old jeans and they had already been patched on the pocket so I asked my Mum the famous quilter to make a patch with which I could patch the ripped place. Not bad for an infrequent hand sewer I think. Do you agree? Would have been much less impressive without Mum's gorgeous patch. Ping back through her playlist (Touring Mum's Garden) and you'll see a bit about her sewing room. She has been quilting for maybe 50 years and now makes Linus Quilts.
Project Linus details are here projectlinusuk.... Enjoy!

Wooo hoooo! I'm first to comment ! You, dear friend couldn't make a boring video if you tried. Your videos are fun, beautiful, colorful, happy, informative, inspiring, peaceful, calming, loving and loved by us all. I look forward to them very much. You and Googie give joy to this world. Thank you from little me here in the US. Please tell Googie how much she is loved around the world. xx
ah, I'll make sure to send your love to Googie x
Georgie, how beautiful you look!!!! No wonder you are all over the internet. I am not the sewing kind, but I love watching what you are up to!
ah thank you x
Loving the patch so unique 🪡🧵You reminded me of peg dolls…yes I remember making them as a child and have made them at work with adults with learning disabilities. Such fun with scraps of fabric. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
so welcome x
A triumphaganza! Patch boldly.
yes! xxx
A patch and a flower garden have so much in “common” - colorful, useful, sustainable, creative, pleasing, handy, flexible, universal, ornamental, planned, handmade, beneficial, diverse..…to name a few.
true x
Oh I love that patching. I have jeans in my wardrobe I can't wear due to rips, so I'm definitely going to do that. Thankyou so much for this xx
go for it x
Would love more anecdotes of your past life as you work, most entertaining.
lol - limited interest keeps stories irregular x
TOP TIP … put a magazine in the trouser leg … ( folded in half if a skinny leg 🥴😂) that way you cant accidentally sow the patch to the back …ie sowing your legs together😂
I’m a lover of patching. Great Job! You are such a gem. Your mum and granny taught you well.
thankyou - didn't they just x
Patching patches … brilliant x
Glad you enjoyed it x
Ooooh perfect rip for Sashiko. It’s rustic, timeless, sturdy and beautiful stitching. That is a very strong way of repairing clothing, especially denim. 💕my mom is from England and used to garden and was an artist in oils. Then she quilted and now she hand sews beautiful cross stitch samplers. Love your moms patches and her garden and garden house. What talents you both have. Love from 🇺🇸
It really is! I should sashiko quilt over the top of it x
I’m impressed! Love the patches!
thank you x
Truly enjoyed the video! Thank You!
you're very welcome x
That looks fabulous! It looks so good that it might be worth ripping my jeans deliberately, lol. Your mum could make some extra money by selling her little patchwork squares- I am sure people would buy them to add to plain clothes to make them something special! Thanks for sharing, and beautiful work Googie x
you know she was saying exactly that - I feel a new product coming on from her x
A fabulous way to patch a patch with a patchwork patch. Your granny taught you well. I used to patch and then embroider mine as a student. Happy days! Thanks
thank you x
Your patching of the patch that Googie made for your ripped jeans that needed a patch is absolutely amazing and the end result is gorgeous! Most excellent work on this colorful patch and I don’t know how you ever did it without a sewing machine!!! Frame these jeans for your studio when they are all patched up whenever that might be.
lol - I love a patched patch patched onto a patch that needs a patch x
Both my sons buy jeans with rips already in and it drives me bonkers them paying good money for what looks like rags ,, oh my word, I love your patches and getting a few more years wear out of them is just fab 👏👏👏
I'm v happy with my patching regime x
Love it you are looking fantastic
Thank you so much!! x
Love your cardigan x
thank you x Marks and Sparks x
❤Lovely video Georgie. I never heard of project Linus, so thankyou for making me aware of this🙏🏼💗
you're so welcome x
@@theflowerfarmer 🥰
great video, i love it. thanks for sharing. be safe.
you're welcome x
Delightful! Brought back memories of my mom teaching me to patch denim jeans over sixty years ago. My patches were supposed to be ‘invisible’ . . . . Your patching style is much more fun.
lol - I love a bit of visible mending x
Very well done... you've made me smile when I've
felt hideous and grumpy all day ❤
excellent news x
Love this! My grandmother and my mom were both excellent seamstresses and taught me well, as well as having long days in the garden. So much love sent from Dallas, Texas again!
hello Dallas xxx
Oh Georgie you are a tonic this has to be the funniest sewing vlog I've seen on here 😂 ( in a good way) just what I needed thank you 😊
hurrah x
Love the outfit, especially the boots. My Mother is 88 years young. She crochets dish rags which are wonderful! Have a great day!
I love a knitted dishcloth - so useful! x
Good job. I love visible mending. It doesn’t surprise me that you worked for Vogue, you are uniquely stylish.
thank you x
My arthritic fingers can’t sew anymore, but I do love what you and Googie can do with a needle. I used to love needlepointing from graphs.
I love sewing but often hands too dirty x
Love the patchwork and the dolls house!
thank you - the dolls house an ongoing project x
Honestly mum should have attached the patch!!
lol - she'd definitely have done a better job x
Well that was a throwaway line if ever there was one - “used to work for American Vogue”. I love it!!!! And I love Googie’s patch and your application with the stripped fabric - definitely an eye for design, but then we see that in your flowers.
lol - thank you x
I am a flower farmer and just recently took up quilting as a hobby! I love that you mix your videos up. I've adored you for years and now, Googie!
Thank you so much! x
spectacular
thank you x
Oh my days 'American vogue' now you not only thrill us with your fantastic gardening skills but you have us all intrigued with your earlier life and career choices! Please do tell all we would love to know!! The patch and jeans look great and well done to Googie for her wonderful quilted blankets that she so kindly donates, once again a fabulous video xx
thank you - oh vogue was so long ago - in the early '90s x
As a quilter I love your “ mini quilt” on your jeans🥰 have 2 pairs I need to fix myself
I'm v pleased with this patch too x
Cute❤!
thank you x
You have a nice fashion sense. I love you and your mother. You guys are so talented
thank you x
You and your videos are so refreshing and you always have something new very interesting. Just love the videos or you telling us about your mom.
Thank you so much! x
We have in Australia so many organisations that make quilts for children in foster care, Hope in a suitcase, My very own blanket and many more. My girl friend makes Beenies (hats) for adults and children who were bush fire victims. So thoughtful of Googie to make those quilts for children, there are good people in this world. You are a laugh Georgie Gucci will be jealous of your designer jeans.
lol - am imagining copies in fancy stores appearing momentarily x
Lovely 🥰 I put a magazine inside the leg so I don’t sow the legs together…
brilliant idea x thank you x
❤❤❤❤
Thanku what great fun and encouragement just the job to brighten the winter mood and get the homemade skills out the the box just in time for xmas
hurrah x
Such a pretty patch!! Visible mending is soooo trendy!! And good for the environment too 👍🏻🌏🧵🪡✂️💕
it is xxx
I did enjoy your enthusiasm! I love mending, so good to keep clothes going for as long as possible.
it is glad you agree x
I really approve of your visible mending. I’ve been needing my husband’s jeans too. If you had a machine, you could zigzag the torn piece onto the backing and that would make it very strong.
yes I really need to get machine savvy x
I try do one thing at a time I hope I do it right ..I love sewing too I see bears, patchwork sewing / gardening are good for the soul.
My scarp box is called my cabbage box. 😊
love the cabbage box x
Love that patch ❤
thank you x
Lovely patch an unique
thank you x
looks fantastique 🎀🤎🎀
merci x
Oh fun, this is what I do with my torn jeans….then I keep going ! I do it all by hand too, I wind up with pairs of jeans that are covered in patchwork. 🤭
so chic! x
In Georgia, USA, my mom creates Quilts for Kids. They’re given to children in hospitals.
what a lovely thing to do x
Googie to the rescue!
always xxx
Well done! Are you still working on your book? I’d love to find out what happens!
I must do a book update vlog - thanks for reminding me - lots to say xxx
You are too funny
thank you x
American Vogue? Do tell.....model in a past life?
haha! no I was a Paris Associate in the early '90s working for the late great venerable Susan Train x
Yes, I want to hear more too!
Worked in the fashion/editorial industry, author of multiple well-received books, owner/creator of a unique and successful business with ethical philosophy and a nature-focused design style, creative and witty - the type of person you can only hope to find seated beside you at a dinner party!
You don't have a sewing machine? What a shame. Do pick up a second hand one, they are essential kit for civilized humanity. 💖🥰
true! x
I am giggling thinking of any poor watchers whose 1st language isn't English trying to untangle the patch discussion.
lol - it's such a good word xxx
