Maybe that is why?<br /><br />(And really lovely topstitching on the pockets.)nowakhttp://nowak.blog.hobbyschneiderin24.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-3933129936783705252016-06-23T16:57:00.530-07:002016-06-23T16:57:00.530-07:00Thanks Kristen.

I think it's vinegar that you can use, but don't quote me on that. If you don't mind that the bleached areas might wear through more quickly (extra distressing with no extra work!), then don't bother. Just wanted to mention it as it was something I learned after doing some bleach "painting" on tshirts. Your effort at perfecting your jeans is inspiring!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618791529567648903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-43927220200588927352016-06-22T23:51:37.571-07:002016-06-22T23:51:37.571-07:00Well they look really nice on and comfy.

I can't stand to wear denim in the warm times... just.too.hot! I lot the pocket details too.Summer Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092393256871735567noreply@blogger.com
