Ben's Owls


I just thought the utilitarian denim knee patches needed a little whimsy, so I appliqued the flannel scraps of owls on top.  Ben says they're playing peek-a-boo.  I'm so glad I got a picture when he put his shoes on by himself, bless him.

VERY cute! Owls are always so appropriate, don't you think? Love the shoes :)

Great idea. I love how kids that age have no qualms about wearing patched clothes. Or mismatched clothes. I like the idea of fun patches!

One day I was mending the knees of one of my granddaughter's jeans. She had some outgrown jeans with nifty looking pockets, so I cut the pockets off of those and used them on the knees of the pair I was mending. Voila! It looked really nice!
