Flower Pants

I've had these pants with a stain on them for about a year now and decided to fix them so I could wear them again.
Within 10 minutes I was wearing them and out the door.
 
I used our Stampin' Up! Designer Fabric called Twitterpated.

You get 3 extra wide fat quarters of coordinated designs.
I cut out the flowers using the Bigz XL Flower Folds Die and the Big Shot.
I also cut out some iron on fusible webbing using the same dies and Big Shot.
 
I ironed the flowers on my pants, punched holes in the center of the flowers and stuck the brads (retired silver star, flower & circle) through. I used brads because I wanted a little bling with the silver and so that I could remove them for laundering. If I had more time I would have sewn some of our beautiful, coordinating buttons on but I really like the silver of the brads and will most likely keep them. Plus, I could change out the brads whenever I want. I think I might change them to the Antique Brads next.

So now I'm thinking I want to do this to all my clothes!!
I can picture the Dresden Designs Bigz L Die (p. 192, Item #125597, $32.95) making a flower on a pretty blouse or t-shirt. Oh, I can't wait to try this one.
 
So, here I am with my "new" pants on!
Notice the sweater? It's an exclusive (demonstrator only) Stampin' Up! Sweater and it matches our Twitterpated fabric perfectly!! So cool!!
 


Let me know what you think. Do you have a favorite fabric or die you would like to do this with? I'd love to hear your ideas!!
 
Have a wonderful day and thank you bunches for stopping by to see me today!
