1974 Illustration
Here is a 1974 illustration that shows an appliqué or embroidered heart on the jeans.
Raggedy Ann face embroidered on blue jeans
During the 70′s, fashion was very much about “expressing yourself.” A new pair of jeans, jean jacket or blue chambray shirt was an empty canvas for doing just that.
In this illustration, you will also notice a girl holding a Raggedy Ann doll. Raggedy Ann has been a favorite American icon for years. That must be why I chose to embroider her on a pair of my jeans in the early 70′s! Her face was down near the hem of the pants. When it came time to throw out the old jeans, I cut Raggedy Ann’s face out and tucked her away.
If your Julie or Ivy dolls have a pair of jeans in their wardrobe, you might want to do a little embroidery on them!

In the 70s it became popular to take your old blue jeans and turn them into a skirt. This was accomplished by ripping the inseam apart and inserting a triangle of fabric in the front and back. Many times embroidery was added. This is a “faux” skirt in that it did not start out as a pair of pants and the triangle is in the front only.
