outfit for Audrey

 So late last night I was on etsy looking for a bday outfit for Audrey!  Can you believe she will be 3 on Sunday...craziness!!  Anyway, first was just looking at iron on's for a bday shirt.  Then I found one so I decided that she needed something cute to put on the bottom  I thought of a tutu at first, but then I thought some of those cute pants with ruffles on them would be perfect.  But they would cost about $30 to buy them.  SO I thought I would try my hand at sewing.  I'm not a totally new to sewing, but I've never sewn anything "solo".  My mom or a friend was always there to hold my hand.  But, I figured it was time.

Once I'm up for a challenge it's a done deal.  So I woke up this morning, went to hobby lobby and got my supplies.  After a fun trip to fun city I came home put my 2 youngest down for a nap and sent Nora to the neighbor's house and got busy!!  Wade came home cooked some dinner AND cleaned the kitchen AND got the kids ready for bed, just so I could finish these pants.  He's been married to me long enough to know I'm a little obsessive compulsive.  it's hard for me to stop a project until I'm finished!!

So here's the final project...

But, I'm more excited about this...

This is the iron on printable that I'm gonna put on a cute white shirt!  Isn't it gonna go GREAT with those pants?  We're gonna throw a party for Audrey on the 16th.  Yeah, that's right...2 whole weeks after her birthday.  I just couldn't get it together until...well, now! :)  ha!  I just have to figure out who to invite.  Audrey is not like her older sister.  She loves playing with friends, yes...but she doesn't make BBF's with every person she meets.  A lot of times they are her sister's friends that she plays with...poor thing!  There aren't any girls her age at church (Nora has about 7 girls her age at church).  So I'm gonna invite her preschool class and hope that a few come!!
