    Too bad I made an apron like 3 days before this episode lol. Oh well, still an awesome vid!

    Thanks for the apron tip! I mentioned making one of these for my mom, but never got around to it. But now you've given me some great ideas, and the appliques are so cute!

    We change our centerpieces on coffee tables and in the kitchen all the time, so I'll have to do some digging and send in some pictures. Thanks for another great ep!

    Thanks for the great ideas! One question: when use use felt in an appliqué, can you machine wash it?

    Thanks guys! And yes, you can wash felt. I thought you couldn't so tried it out myself. I made a dishcloth with a felt cupcake applique` and have now washed it several times with no problem. Great question Rachel!

    OMG! Finally someone who makes lined fabric the same way I do (sewing around three sides, turning inside out and tucking the final end). So many people asked me how to do it and it's so hard to explain in writing XD

    I like the jean apron but I want something that goes around my waist a bit more. *keeps watching*

  • Katzilla (guest) wrote on May 13, 3:08 pm

    Oh crap, I forgot what the contest was! What do you have to make to enter? ):

  • Meg wrote on May 13, 3:50 pm

    You can make ANYTHING for the contest! Just send footage of one of your home decor DIY projects or make-overs. The deadline is May 31st, so get nesting!

    Mint ice cubes!! I would never have come up with that on my own! Great idea. And if you're like me in the kitchen you can never have too many aprons. I'm excited to try and make my own!

  • ink_bottle wrote on May 13, 4:53 pm

    Awesome idea but I already made a jean apron a few months ago and just so happended that i posted a tread about it and THEN found out it was on the contest list. oh well. I love you mismatched dishes and cups.

    Aww! This is great! I like the orange and the jeans, and I know it was just a coincidence, but they went really well together

    D: I think you should smile more! You looked a little sad!

    cuuute apron!

  • sewthernbelle wrote on May 18, 12:50 pm

    another tip for anyone sewing anything...iron your seams! It really helps make the finished project look professional rather than handmade.

    Gotta love that dog!

  • rockoutloud2me wrote on May 21, 4:41 am

    Wow! This episode came out just in time for me. I had a pair of jean that were torn up in all the right places that my mom just let me cut and sew them for whatever.

  • Twinkii wrote on May 23, 3:10 pm

    The trouble with me is that I live in england and I can't go to any of the places you visit! :(

    A die-hard PJ fan from the beginning just heard "Rise" off the "Into the Wild" (best movie ever) soundtrack done by none other than Mr. Vedder!!! You my Lady, (or viewer submitter, but you still get points for airing it) get MAD PROPS!!!

    Tee-hee, I was the first to notice it! I love me some Pear Jam!!! It's Evolution, Baby!
