Not my finest moment

So I was trying to be nice and make a pair of shorts for sleeping for my pal.......but some how I lost my way. Granted this was really early on in my sewing life but still! They make me laugh every time I look at them :)

So they don't look so bad from far away but if you look closer...

Something is off?... I dont' know what but something...

Oh I know one leg is shorter and tighter than the other!!!!

See :) plus they are cut with a pretty LOW rise! Ha ha ha ha

A Birthday Shirt?

Apparently this is an "in" thing to do for your kiddo's when they are having a birthday :) I was clueless but my son's very with it God Mother told me I should make her little cutie one. So I looked up a tutorial on one of the many blogs I LOVE! and this is what I got! I have to say I am very proud of myself!

I printed a #3 in the exact font and size I was told to which is 300 and hobo. Then I traced it onto the interfacing on the wrong side.( that is all I had). Then cut it out and ...

Oh plus some cute little tractors!

glued it on the shirt (dollar store) with fabric glue and...

sewed it in place with a zig zag stitch( which I was super nervous to do since I had never sewed curves before)!

and we had a very happy birthday indeed! Go Mommy!
