Oh, but all that sewing was so worth it.
Before I called it quits I decided to use some of the left over pieces for shorts. My girls don't wear shorts too often but the slides get hot here in Arizona and some situations just call for short. I love this floral fabric I bought at Joann's. I have the front half of a sundress cut then I realized I didn't have enough fabric for the back section. Doh! I have checked back a few time since then and it is not in stock. I sure hope I can buy more because I think it would make such a cute dress but I decided I could at least get a pair of shorts out of what I had left.
The button just makes it for me.
Basic blue shorts. Nothing fancy but I still feel satisfied that I made them.
Finally, I'd like to thank Talbots, my Kids Clothes Week Challenge sponcer. Without you I would have had to use a boring old plastic hanger. (Just kidding, I have no connections with Talbots I guess I'd just rather spend my money on fabric than hangers.)
- Sewing related side note, I have not yet had time to post about the box I received in the mail this week but I'll give you a little hint, my Mother's Day gift was something that begins with and S and rhymes with merger.

the shirt to dress idea works well here. i think i need to go through my husband's closet and see if anything good needs to be discarded and try it out.
oh, and i loved the talbot's joke.
Love all the little outfits and ditto with the worried husband. Our bedroom currently looks like a charity jumble sale with all the unfolded laundry! Very exciting Mothers Day gift!
That shirt dress is so cute!!
