- So fun! Let's create whimsical collage art with thrifted jeans. In this video/tutorial we will decorate a pair of thrifted patterned jeans by distressing and adding patches. In addition to that we will widen the leg with a fabric strip so that they have a more trendy vibe. Once you learn this basic technique the doors open wide for lots of creative expression.
Have fun!

Stunning! You are SO talented! Your tutorials inspire even the sewing novice to believe in themselves enough to make similar jeans as well. And the fact that you make these tutorials free speaks volumes for the kindhearted person you must be. Thank you!
I stay busy because of you. That’s in a good way. I never have enjoyed my sewing projects as much as I do while drawing inspiration from your creations. So fun! Thanks for all you do.🥰
Jeans turned out GREAT!! Please just keep on being your own creative self you offer all of your fans so much inspiration!
Marvelous as always!! So glad you didn’t let the buzzards get you down. Fan for life here!!! ❤️
Even cuter than the first pair I saw you embellish!
Fan here too x
Your creations are 1 if a kind, not MADE IN CHINA like “Many Places” ;-)
Or in India by children……
@@lionairvine870well that's bad but better to have children working than being used for abuse as in American schools teaching "gender education". 😢😢
Many places 😂😂
@@DrTiwade you can’t justify one evil by saying there is a worse one..what the hell?!
I agree 100%
You are an AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL (inside and out), KIND, HELPFUL AND INSPIRATIONAL person. It's as if you're surrounded by light. I'm so grateful 🙏 I found your channel. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊
Aww what a sweetheart, thank you so so much 🤗💞💛💞💛💞💛
These projects always make my heart sing. I think my gatherings are about to be ready to make a pair. Even found the bird panels in my fabric stash. I like to free motion my appliqués and will likely help size my oversized jeans. You are such a doll for sharing. 🥰
I too like to free motion! My sewing machine is broke right now the feed dogs won’t drop! Told the hubby time for a new machine! Lol
Hi Traci ! I love your work! Yesterday as I was sewing patches on a denim duster, I remembered that in my quilting life I use school glue sticks instead of pins to baste the patches on. I started doing it on the duster, and what a time saver! I have heard people say it can gum up your needle, but that has not happened to me. Hugs!
Fabulous jeans with an equally fabulous and fitting name "Harmony" 🐈 🐦 🌺 🕊️ 😺
Thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
I could watch you design and sew forever!!! Thank you so much.
When I can, I buy larger sizes in jeans than I really am. Then I size them down as I like. I just did this today, so I’ll be adding your ideas to them
So fun, Traci! Another success! And what a great idea to use cut out fabric panels! Love your kitties! ❤ 🤗😘
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful! Love the whimsical theme in your clothes.

Thank you so so much!!💞💞💞💞💞
Love your jeans. I have a black and white short hair cat. So I'll use the other. Her name is Gabby and she is 9 years old. I think I'll call it my memory jeans. I lost two long hair cats to old age. Wish I could find pictures of long hair cats so I can sew them on. Just to remind me of my cats. Love my little companions. When you lose them , they take part of you. What a wonderful way to have them with you. Like a memory quilt blanket. Thanks Lady.
Love that!🤗💞💞💞
I am here to Love the Jeans, adorable❤
I love your channel, love your creativity, your generosity in sharing thank you ever so much!!!💞💕💞💕
I’m here for this! 💖✨✨💖
Look at you go, girl!!! Lovin’ this and it is uniquely all Y-O-U👍👍👍😘❤️
I'm here, ready set go!
OMG...I LOVE those jeans !!! I am a huge cat lover and I would love to have a pair of those !!!! Also very happy to meet your beautiful fur babies....they are gorgeous !!! I have 3 tuxedo kitties !!!! 😺😻😸
For the style I like I've found thrifted kids or babies printed tee shirts to be a great resource for appliques. This idea started as a result of doing these sort of designs for my toddler with older clothes he loved but had become unwearable then I realized much later on that i could do this with designs I liked too :D
Awesome tip! Thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞
Oh my goodness..just adorable. So many ideas...so little time! 🦜🦜🦜
I hear you lol!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
FALLING IN LOVE ❤ this Boho very romantic Magnolia Pearl vibes makes me so happy. I love your youtube videos, they are very inspiring and a happynes booster...😊
Thank you so much!!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
They are awesome ,the cats and birds are a great combination with the patches.Glad you didn’t let things get you down,what they did was unacceptable
Thank you, I appreciate that so much 🤗💖💖💖💖
I am so inspired by your "can do" instructions, tips and mistake corrections. I love your artistic style that is both playful , elegant and not unnecessarily complicated. I am eEnjoying every video! 😍🙌👍
Aww thank you so so much!!🤗💖💖💖💖
First of all, love your babies!!😻😻 They are pretty! I have Rosie who is mostly black and spoiled rotten. 😊Loved your Harmony piece! ❤
I love the light denim look and how it pops all the colors and deeper denim! Super Pretty!
Thank you so much!!💕💞💓
i feel this is way better than the one they put the strike for.. I love them
This is great. I was given a load of skinny, high waisted jeans and bib overalls that did not fit. Now I can make them work for me.
These appliques would be Super Cute on a denim maxi skirt too!
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!💝🎀🙌💝🎀🙌🙏🙏🙏🙌🎀💝🙌🎀💝
Good morning Traci! I was really inspired by this video to decorate an old pair of jeans. I have a sewing machine, but just don't know how to use it. I went to Walmart and bought some heat and bond and had some squares of pink shabby chic material. While watching your video yesterday, I did my own thing! The patches are beautiful, I can't wait to wear my new creation! Thanks, sister! ❤️
I love that!🤗💖💖💖💖
You go girl! Right back on the horse!! ❤
Oh those appliqués are like the printed fabric panels back in the day that you cut out and sew pillows!! Great idea! Try searching “fabric panel” also, might get more hits with those search terms! Love these jeans!!
Oh Tracy I love these jeans and all of your awesome techniques. Its on my list to make these. And I love showing how to make jeans larger soo kool. Again love your work!!!
This creative idea works for anyone today!
🤗💞💞💞💞
Cute!! You have such a wonderful personality and I love your creations. Really appreciate it!
I’m so glad we got to see your kitties up close 😊I have a ginger kitty too, she’s 14 and my fur baby
Awww🤗🤗🤗🤗💖
Just watched this again for the umpteen time. I love these and what a great idea for so many problems with Jean's we have. I love the fact that you Named them too
"Peace Harmony", beautiful just like you sweet lady. Cant wait to do some of these, I'm so excited. Love what you do ❤
Aww I appreciate that so much 🤗💖💖💖💖
Awwweee I love this so much! Peace Harmony is a perfect name for your beautiful jeans. Thank you Tracy for sharing and always inspiring us~
Love it when you said 'I don't get that fussy'! Greetings from Singapore! ❤
Lol thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, skills and fantastic inspiration 🤗🥰🇸🇪
I PUT THOSE VERY CATS ON SWEATSHIRTS IN 1989!
Love the pants! So fun!
We love your designs! Very shabby cottage core! I agree, name your pieces and techniques.
Love all your work it so great and so helpful and pushes me to sew more. Don't ever quit doing what your are doing.
Thank you so so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
Love love, ❤. the only thing that would make them personally cuter to me, is a pic of a long haired chihuahua instead of a cat, in honor of my sweet guy Zorro, who’s in doggie heaven.
Peace Harmony... so cute. Love them.
I can’t wait to get a sewing machine so I can start following you. My granddaughter would love a pair of those jeans.
Have fun!🤗💛💛💛
While I love the jeans, I love so much all the techniques that can go on anything. I plan to use some of them on jean jackets that I bought in a few different sizes....one each for a few friends. Being around during the hippie years, we all like peace signs. I can't wait to put one on the back of the jackets. Will be fun to wear. Will remind us of 'days gone by'.
Oh gosh I just got some pattern soft pink jeans. Can’t wait to see this video for inspiration thanks love ya
Absolutely gorgeous. Your Harmony designer original pants are fabulous. Full credit to you and the only name you need to mention is your own.❤
Great idea! Got several jeans too small😅
these are so cute! Love the cats and birdies!
You are amazing. Thank you 😊.
I never knew you could buy fabrics just to cut for appliques! Traci you are a FANTASTIC resource for bright, fun and doable upcycling.
You mentioned using fabric of a similar weight to the denim. I have a challenge I'm working on. I have tattered hand-woven rugs to repurpose. I'll be trying to use pieces on a denim jacket as decoration. We'll see how it goes. It's very thick of course so I'm thinking a big piece on the back of a jacket will make it warmer. With a lot of sewing around the edges so it doesn't completely unravel.
Sounds amazing!!!🤗💖💖💖
Adorable !! Thanks for all the great tips, especially how to widen those pant legs !! 🤩🧡💛💜
Thank you for your videos. I am learning so much. I have been playing with jeans for many years and your techniques and tips are a game changer for me.
Awww thank you!!🤗💖💖💖💖
GIRL YOU ROCK like always ! So unique and creative, thank you for your videos
❤❤❤ you do such an awesome job thank you for sharing with us, enjoy watching you it’s like visiting with a dear friend so glad you didn’t let them get you down 🙏 you will be blessed !!!
Aww I love that so so much, thank you 🤗💖💖💖💖
Love, love those jeans and I like the raw edges. My grand dog Tina died a few months ago and I’ll be looking for fabric with pugs on it so I can do a tribute to her. Brilliant idea with the cats and perfect name for that piece. Keep on inspiring us newbies at upcycling. I am a fan.
Millie: love these!
Super cute! Thanks to your inspiration I have up-cycled 2 pair of jeans and one blouse. The blouse was a fail but the jeans were a success! One of a kind, so comfortable and I get compliments on them. Thank you for the inspiration and tutorials!❤❤❤
Aww love that!!! Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖
Love your harmony jeans Traci!❤😊
❤ love this.
My husband wore a hole in one of his cargo shorts... So I think I know just what I want to try something like this with 😂
When he wears out his "play" clothes, they become my crafty clothes 😂
So Cute! Thank You.
Well done you for uploading this video when your in the middle of all that upset. Im so proud of you. Onwards and upwards, great to see that your keeping your chin up. Love love love this as usual, these jeans are truly amazing, just like you xxxx
Thank you so much!!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Wow! nice the cats love it but that’s a lots of work ❤ , I got jeans that are tight on me and I’m going to us that technique thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I'm a week new to your channel, you are great! I love how you create. I can't get enough of the patchwork jeans... Thank you for sharing.
Love these! I used to have a red cat, named Gingi, you brought back memories. Learn so much from you, when to use zig zag, when to use straight stich, it's those little details that make it possible to create these one of a kind comfy pants. AND, of course save our favorite pants if they are too small. Thank you!
Yes!!!
BEAUTIFUL as usual…you are “back in the saddle” ❤️❤️❤️
As always, so fun and creative!! Thank you so much!! 😍
Great jeans
Love your 2 beautiful kitties

Tracy I have seen every single one of your videos, some multiple times. You are a true designer because everything you make is pure. You inspire everyone who watches your videos. I know just watching you has given me so much more confidence in myself. You don’t even need to use anyone else as a demo because your ideas are better.
Aww your support means so so much! Thank you for watching all my videos!!! Amazing🤗💖💖💖💖
These are so cute! Thanks for the tutorial❤. On a side note, I have 2 gray tabbies, also brother and sister, they are 6.
Love love love them. The name is so fitting. I’ve been wanting to do a pair of jeans like these for a long time. I’m a big fan of Mickey Mouse and family. So I’ve actually been looking for those characters to go on my jeans. you are so encouraging. This is just what I needed to get the project started and finish .Your jeans are super super Super cool. And I absolutely love everything about them especially the cats. I also have two cats Jack, and Jill. They are 14 years old. As always, you look amazing in them. Actually, I love all of your outfits from your tutorials. Super awesome video. And as always, I’m never disappoint.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I appreciate you so so much!! Thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Yay! Another adorable project. Thanks for the tips on the applique.
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching!🤗💞💞💞💞
Absolutely gorgeous! Namesta 🐞💖
I love your tutorials! They're so fun to watch. I'm so sorry you had to take the other video down. I finally found the fabric I wanted to use but I don't know how to do it now. :(
Awww I know, so disappointing.💖
What a wonderful pair of jeans, So cute. Thanks for all the info. for the Etsy pages as sources for appliques. You do a fantastic job at teaching as always. Love your work.
My pleasure🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Love love them! I have floral cream colored jeans I bought years ago that don’t fit anymore which are a perfect canvas for this project! Thank you!
Gee whiz golly. REALLY!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Speechless ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🤗💖💖💖💖
Love your creation! Harmony is a perfect name. Thanks so much for sharing. You are an inspiration 💛
Love your talents, thank you for sharing . I have made a few of your things If I find out how to add a photo I will send what you’ve helped me to make!
What an inspirational soul you are beautiful jeans love them thank you❤
Great to see you this morning. Glad you didn't get another strike this morning.
I was nervous to look this morning! Thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
So thankful for you continuing your videos❤
Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖
Beautiful name it would be nice if everyone would learn how live in Harmony✌️💜✌️💜✌️💜✌️
Hey those are so cool. I like how you used a lot of detail. They look like the ones. They sell on line for 300.00 dollars. Thank you for sharing this project.
Thank you so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
I am experimenting with printing my own appliques on cotton using the freezer paper method. I use png files from Etsy so literally, the images you want are unlimited. I did a pair of Alice in Wonderland jeans that came out adorable using your methods. Just FYI I did an initial pair without using Bubblejet and my appliques faded in the first wash. I am testing out another pair, and so far little fading after 3 washes using appliques I printed using BubbleJet to prepare the fabric to print.
Those are so FREAKING CUTE!!! Thanks for the video and for still doing these even though the designer that shall not be named is pulling the power play😉.
I appreciate that so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
I absolutely love all of your videos! Thanks for sharing your amazing creativity with all of us! You are so relaxing and informing. You give me confidence to try new things!
Aww thank you so much for the kind words!!!🤗💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you for showing how you did the triangle! I might have figured it out eventually😂 This is a great idea to cover up accidental bleach marks too!
Yes! Thank you so much!!!🤗💖💖💖💖💖
I like how the kitty on the back is looking up at the robin on the opposite side!! I like your title! For a moment, I had a little concern for all those birds hanging out with those cats 😥, but I'm relieved to know they are all in Harmony together!! 😅 ❤
Lol thank u so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
I wish I could show you my jeans that you inspired me to do. I had fun doing them and took my time with the additions and cutting. And the best part, the bleach!
Aww fun! You can send pics on my instagram:

Aww I love that 🤗💖💖💖💖
