Sewing

I've been working on some ruffled pants for the girls with a new pants pattern.  It's a little too wide for my taste so the next pair I make I will trim them down some.  I also don't know what I did wrong measuring Abigail's pants, but they are a little short . . . I still think she is a cutie:

I embroidered the cherries on their shirts.  I have been looking for these type shirts for a very long time and finally got a website from a friend to order them from:

 

I also re-used a 2T shirt that was Emily's and embroidered this A over it.  

 One of the first pair of pants I made Emily was a floral cordoroy that she wore with this shirt:

So I put the square over her monogram and re-used the shirt to wear with the same pants:

 I also gushed a little when Abigail wore the very first pair of pants I made Emily.  I took a sewing class to make these pants and my sister embroidered the car on the shirt for me:

 Here is Emily wearing the pants . . .

When Michelle showed me how cute an outfit could be by adding embroidery to a shirt, I decided to buy a sewing machine with an embroidery attachment.  It's so fun to see Abigail wearing the first sets of clothes that I made 2 years ago!
The girls had their fall party at school today so Abigail dressed in her Auburn outfit and Emily chose to be a fairy:

And for giggles I must share these photos!  Last night at church, Joe was helping me in the resource room with the copy machine and we found a box of glasses that they use to donate to our missionaries.  Joe put these on and I was laughing hysterically.  I have not laughed that hard in a long time!

So we took the pair home to show the girls and PROMISE to return them to the box on Sunday . . . I took this picture of Emily today:

Then Emily took these pictures of me and Abigail:
