What I'm sewing This Week: May 9th

Since Blogger ATE my sewing post from earlier this week, I will do my best to redo it~!

 
Here are the shorts I promised to post about.  Once I got the hang of sewing them I was flying through them super fast.  My boy peep adores them all and no matter what shirt he has on (matching or non-matching) he has been in these shorts every day since I made them.

He doesn't like to slow down, hence the red face but I got a few pictures of him at the park last week.  I also cut out three of the squares from the puppy dog fabric and satin stitched around them making a matching t-shirt.  The red T was $3.50 at Walmart.

I used approximately 1/2 yard of fabric for each pair of shorts.  So they cost around $2.50 to $4.00 depending on the fabric.  I actually used fabric I have saved the last few years with the intention of making something.... sometime..... eventually....... so the only item I had to purchase right now was the elastic for the waistband.

I also had a local seamstress with an embroidery machine * I want one so bad!) make some personalized t-shirts for my little peep.  Love how it makes a $3.50 t-shirt from Walmart look like a $20 t-shirt from a fancy children's clothing line.

Of course now the latest request from him is that ALL the shorts need pockets.  Yes pockets, look kid I just got the hang of how to sew these suckers together now you want pockets?!?  Yep, I will be figuring the whole pocket thing out next week~

Oh, I almost forgot to add my sweet little guy up there is graduating from preschool tomorrow!!!!!!  My baby, my last one, my little stinky boy who leaves hot wheels and kleenex in his pockets and then I wash all of it.  Yes, him, I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry, repeat, repeat, repeat.....

We had to make a poster for him that will be on display after graduation along with all of his other friends posters.  I tell you just making that poster I got teary eyed, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!

Lots of pictures to come!!!!!

Happy sewing!
