    Default I was busy today!

    I sewed 2 pairs of shorts and 1 skirt for DD ( I appliqued a tshirt to match the skirt). Then I sewed 2 pairs of shorts for each of my oldest DSs and 3 pairs of pants for my youngest DS. I also made each DS a big bed pillow. I have a bunch cloth napkins cut out, I just have to go serged the edges later.

    I had all the shorts and pants cut out, I just kept putting off sewing them. So I did them like an assembly line and got them all done during DS's naptime. Now my rear hurts from sitting in the sewing chair for so long. lol

    WTG, it sounds like you got a lot accomplished today. Isn't it a great feeling to sew your kids clothes and to see them wearing them. I loved that when my kids were young.

    I did another skirt and a dress today. I actually found the dress fabric cut out already, but apparently I cut it a while ago. It was a size 4 and my daughter is 7. lol I improvised and added a ruffle to the hem of the dress and now it is long enough for her.

    I will have to take some pics and share them. I have TONS of fabric and I am really trying to make use of it instead of it just sitting in boxes in a closet.
