Here is the story of this and other denim crafts, as told by your old jeans:
“We used to go everywhere together!…work, shopping, restaurants, church…
At some point, you still liked me, but didn’t want to be seen in public with me. That was hard for me to understand. Yes, we’d still hang out in the garage or backyard together, but I wasn’t good enough to be around your friends anymore. When you sent me away, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen to me. An old lady picked me up off her front steps, where you had left me, and wanted to take me into her home. I agreed because she said she would change me so that you wouldn’t be embarrassed when I was around you and your friends. It took her quite a while, and I can tell you that she really tore me apart at times. But, here I am, back again with you. I hope you love the “new me” and I look forward to our together times again.”
