Hi Mom's.
Where can I enlist someone's help to make or embellish jeans for my child's spirit day at school. I am looking for someone to create maybe ruffles around the hem line, sew on letters and embellish them etc. Or can someone give me some suggestions for how to go about this project?

What can I do next?

My sister has an Etsy shop, I'll message you the information. You can either send her a skirt that fits and is slightly long, can't be too short, or you can buy one straight out from her with the colors or what ever you want on it.

She does the custom orders either way.

You could do it yourself or with your kids help. If you don;t care if it is permanent, you could by stitch glue at the craft or sewing store. It holds pretty well until you wash the clothes. For painting letters or other stuff. craft stores have patterns and stencils you can use with fabric paint. My girls painted denim bags when they were about 7 yrs old, by themselves with my supervision. I helped them line things up but they did everything else. To put on patches, there is a patch glue that is permanent. i used this for my girls' girlscout patches and some decorative things. The patches are still sticking.

Alterations shop, or check on Craigslist for someone that sews.

Go to a fabric shop and get names of people that sew.. also embroidery shops and fabric monogramming places have people that sew.

I know seamstresses will cringe at this...but you could probably do it all yourself with hot glue. I make some really elaborate costumes around here. I can sew some, but I have found hotglue works just as well for me!

Local craft stores have tons of iron-on stuff! They have iron-on letters, pretty designs and iron-on rhinestones.

They also sell fabric glue that would probably hold up through a few washings for the ruffles around the hem line.

There is spray-on fabric paint as well.

I always buy plain jeans and we embellish them ourselves! Have fun with it!

You might ask around at school or in the school office. They may know of someone locally who does that and specifically does things with your school colors and logo.

You might also ask at your local fabric store. They will also know of people who might do this--often their employees will do that on the side to supplement their income.

If you can't find someone locally you might try www.etsy.com. If you aren't familliar with it, it is an online "craft shop". There are lots of sellers on it and you can do a search for whatever you are looking for. Do a search for spirit wear or embellished jeans and see what comes up. Find a "shop" where you like the items and then contact them and see if they do custom work. Most of them do.
