It's time for one last project before taking my annual holiday break. December sure is flying by, isn't it? I've been collecting the pockets from old jeans for a while and finally decided on a project. After cutting the pocket from the jeans, I cut away the back, so all that was left was the front and the stitched edge. I started by gathering the pocket in an accordian fold. Next, I used some heavy thread and ran a stitch through all the layers a couple of times, then wrapped the thread around the outside and tied it off. A wood ball was glued on for the head and the outside edges were sewn together. A piece of lace was tied around the middle and some scrapbook embellishments created a halo. A small fabric poinsettia was added for a little color and the angel was done. Since I had the materials, I made a few more. I still have some more pockets left, so I'll need to think of more ideas for them. What have you used pockets for? I'd love
