Cooper Concoctions 2021 Part 4

 Cooper Concoctions 2021 Part 4

A New item. I am starting using material from the Back of the Cooper Jeans. 

Unpick Pocket

 

I Unpicked the Pocket when I did all the unpicking.

Unpicked but Pinned

 

I Pinned the two Pieces together Back to Back. Now I could cut the excess material off and get the shape that I wanted.

Double Pinned

 

I placed two Pins in the material. One either side of the Pocket Point.

Pocket Point Hemmed

 

I Hemmed all along the Bottom of the material. I repeated all this procedure with the opposite Pocket.

Pocket Point Back to Back

 

In order to make sure I Blanket Stitched the two parts together properly I Pinned along the Pockets Double Seam. That way if I had been slightly off with my Hemming it would still match up.

With the thickness of the material my fingers needed a break ready for the really tough part.

I am often given material in various forms by people as they know I do a great deal of Crafting. On this occasion it was a pair of Cooper Jeans. So what to do with them. 

Cooper Front

 

The Jeans looked pretty much okay from the Front. There only seemed to be a few marks here and there.

Cooper Back

 

Ah I have got to the Bottom of the problem. This was obviously a tear that couldn’t be patched.

Thick Needle

 

The first thing I did was to Cut off the Legs as they would only get in the way. I then found a Thick Needle as I knew that going through Denim would be hard work. I also sorted through my Cottons for some Threads of a decent Colour.

Unpick Cooper

 

I Unpicked all the Seams. As you can imagine this took some time. Unfortunately also whilst doing this the Unpicker occasionally slipped and torn the material.

I carried on Unpicking but I would have to sort these Tears out or they might end up running and making the material unusable.
