I bought Kenneth King's Jean-ius class on Craftsy, and I've watched a bit of it, but I think I'll put that off a little longer. :) You could totally do the alterations, though! It's easy, and it's pretty quick. It took me about two hours per pair, and that was with mostly hand sewing.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596360832206980948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032544992141016335.post-25666888373263287542013-03-01T12:57:45.633-05:002013-03-01T12:57:45.633-05:00Great alterations!

I do wish that one had pictures, although the text is very thorough. If I buy another pair of jeans, I'll probably take some photos of the alteration process so there's a photo tutorial on the web.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596360832206980948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032544992141016335.post-18943483527340422132013-03-01T05:12:21.369-05:002013-03-01T05:12:21.369-05:00Well done, what a satisfying project.

We need to find a place where we can simultaneously make our girls think they are just as capable and intelligent and valuable and still allow them room to make their own decisions. (There is a lot of shaming from the feminist corner of women who make the choice to stay home to raise their children, which I think is just as wrong as implying that little girls are not as valuable as boys.)<br /><br />I guess the big question is, how do we change our society into one that values and therefore treats and educates girls and boys equally?Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596360832206980948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032544992141016335.post-42697352014819619232013-01-09T09:19:08.100-05:002013-01-09T09:19:08.100-05:00Thank you!

And to this day I still have no desire to dress using pink, or sew/knit little gifts in pink for babies. Sooooo many other gorgeous colours out there.<br />And as a teacher, I see 'educational bias' all the time. Strong dominant themes for the boys, pretty delicate themes for girls...Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406164663751567997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032544992141016335.post-43511948632566044182013-01-07T17:57:14.025-05:002013-01-07T17:57:14.025-05:00Thank you so much for the package!

If a teacher compliments a little girl on how pretty she is on the only day she ever wears pink or a dress, that little girl is going to go home and ask for more pink dresses. I feel like our pressure on children to conform to specific gender norms is very strong and also often very invisible. I also think that same pressure works the other way in alternative communities; sometimes women in the LGBT community are scorned or simply avoided if they're too feminine. Anyway, this is a very long way for me to just tell you that I agree with you about just letting children be (and adults too!). :)Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596360832206980948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032544992141016335.post-23884501563996865142013-01-03T09:33:29.513-05:002013-01-03T09:33:29.513-05:00I checked out the website of your Pink Stinks camp...I checked out the website of your Pink Stinks campaign.

I cannot stand the prettified way that we expect our girls to conform to, but I have also noticed that girls, even when not encouraged, seem to like pink. I was a pink girl who longed to be a tomboy... only sports weren't for me due to terrible eyesight!<br />Also, I feel for the boys who like 'feminine' colours, especially when they are young, only to have a backlash from adults about what is right and wrong for a boy. Seems that adults spend too much time deciding what children should be than just letting them be!Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947797704112639187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032544992141016335.post-30817760248626935972012-12-13T17:06:35.034-05:002012-12-13T17:06:35.034-05:00I popped into the chemist to pick up some mixture ...I popped into the chemist to pick up some mixture for my daughter's cough and discovered there was a blue packet for boys and a pink one for girls.
