Pant revamp This is another pair I made longer

I found these pants at a thrift store for only ten cents. ( you can not beat that!) So here is what I did with the pants. ( which by the way I love) I originally purchased corduroy to insert to make longer but I really did not like how they looked. I tore through my stash of old clothes I had disassembled to see if anything worked. The big trick here is to find something that is the same weight ( or close to) and the colors match. ( match enough). What I used is light weight light colored denim ( I had disassembled a pair of pants from the eighties- oh yea I know they were I was an adult then) Here came the tricky part. I ripped the seam on the side to insert material. These pants fit great in the waist and thigh but were short, too short. I inserted a band in the pants and on the bottom to give length. I did have one problem ( some me and some with how much fabric I had to work with) on one side when I sewed the seam back together it did not match perfect. ( or even close) I was given some denim material and I appliqued a heart on to mask it - liked the way it looked so I did several more. I also embroidered a few flowers and one lone strawberry to give it a little feel - originally I purchased these birds to applique on and I truthfully felt it did not need them. However I also did not want them lost in a pile in my sewing room. HAHA if they hold up I am going to use some more on my next pair of pants.

FYI: Husband took picture and he was reluctant to do so. Had things to do he said. LOL - not the greatest photo but you get the idea

I have been busy making girl dresses

Here lately I have been super busy making girl dresses. I may have gone over the deep end. LOL  I have mailed them and they are scheduled to arrive today. I am super excited to hear what they think about these beauties. It seemed like I would finish one and more material would appear to go again. Even the husband was picking out fabric. Here is a fun fact. Middle son has placed a request for a set of dresses. FYI- its not over, ( seriously smiling over this) Now what I did was search the internet for A-dresses. I found several websites with free patterns and I do love a Freebie. I found a pattern on EBay for a super reasonable price and snagged it. It was from the 80's and at the top tabs had them rounded. I found I like the square look better so I adapted. Now here is the final total:
12 months- 7 dresses, 1 pair of shorts
2T - 8 dresses, 1 pair of shorts
3T - 7 dresses, 4 pairs of shorts, 1 top with three tops waiting to be sewn.
I am seriously not done. I have pants to make too. Fabric waiting to be cut and sewn.

I love the Frozen Dresses ( husband choice), Star Wars ( husband choice)  I really was impressed with the Wonder woman/ Batgirl fabric.

I had a blast. That is what all this is about. Dresses made with LOVE💘💗💖💖💖
