Thanks to my friends, Kristie Yorke and Ashley Smith- I too can sew!! I just LOVE it!! Actually, please don't come over to my house right now, because all else has been put on hold until I finish just one more pair of pj pants for Jenna. Crazy me!! I actually thought my dad would enjoy a homemade pair of pj pants for his 60th birthday. I worked tirelessly to create the perfect pj's for him. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that when the pattern swears that I should use patterns 6 and 7, it doesn't tell me that there are TWO patterns labeled 6 and 7!! I ended up finding the PERFECT pattern for my dad... Golf balls and golf tees plastered on bright green fabric... perfect for the pj pants. Unfortunately, they now belong to my 7 yr old, Addi! I used the child's pattern and they fit her perfect.
Totally stressed out with less than 24 hours to go until the reveal... I found pin stripe lt. blue and navy fabric which I then FINALLY found the ADULT pattern and successfully (or semi-successfully) sewed the pj's. Here is the final result... not too pleasing... the waist is about 2 1/2 inches to tall and the pattern looks like clown pants. Oh well- a daughter's love continues as I fix the pants so they are not soooo embarrasing.
I even got creative enough to come up with a "designer name" for myself for all my projects. My dad used to call me "Roonie"- because my middle name is Renee. So- I chose "Roonie Ro". My dad said, "Who's Ronny Ro?" which I corrected immediately to Roooooonie. He then asked why I put designed by Roonie Ro and I let him know that I MADE the pants. He was quite impressed. Here is what the packaging looked like...
