Todays tip, making a straight centered crease in your jeans every time.

I thought that since my blog was fairly new I would start adding "Tip of the Week" but then I realized that I don't know or have that many tips, so I decided to go with tip of the month. So with out further ado here is January's Tip of the Month

I don't know about you but sometimes I have a real problem getting my jeans to cooperate when I'm ironing them. I discovered this tip about 10 years ago when I was ironing a pair of jeans and it just so happen that I was working on sewing a dress at the same time. My pin cushion was near by that I had a thought.

I like using quilting pin because they are longer and have flat heads. You can use any kind of pins that you like.

Find the seams and line them up.

Pin in place (the mauve nail polish came back as you can see)












Line the seams at the top and pin in place. Then place pins down the length of the pant leg, I used 5 pins












Then iron as usual. And you'll have a straight centered crease every time.
