I tried to get pics of the aprons, shorts and dresses, but modeling clothing apparently does not hold the interest of a preschooler. There goes my plans to be a pageant mom.
Here are two pair of sleep shorts. I can’t tell you the thrill I get when I turn them right side out and see that I actually made a pair of shorts! Not a wad of fabric!
This is the back of the cowgirl shorts. I thought I was making them with bandana on the left and gingham on the right (and vice versa), but somehow I made them with both ginghams on one side and both bandanas on the other. So I stuck pockets on the back. They looked too plain all ginghamy by themselves. These are to wear with the *Gruene Hall t-shirt that she loves to sleep in!
These have little clouds and flowers. I made a zigzag stitch on the bias tape. I like zigzagging. The fabric is like $1.97 a yard. Since I’m such a novice, I keep my fabric on the cheap side. Not until I posted this picture did I notice that it looks like I have the clouds running vertically. Dang.
(* bonus points if you’ve heard of Gruene Hall. Extra bonus points if you’ve been there!)

The rodeo bandana shorts are very cute. I hadn’t noticed the clouds running the wrong direction until you pointed it out. Both are very cute.

So heard of The Hall! I live in Texas too. Hubs cousins all went to school around there. Heck, we honeymooned in San Antonio!

Heard of it and been there! A friend here in Indy used to live in San Antonio and that was one of the stops we made when I went back with her for a visit!
Do I get bonus points since I’ve never lived in Texas?
