First Round Top Project- DONE!

Well, we made our Spring Trip to Round Top and I have a few "projects" on the horizon but the first was conquering something for my Lil' Sis. Back in January when I spent several weeks with the Wells, Brooke started me on sewing. I kind of never really had the drive before and really was intimidated by this "machine." BUT....I've come to LOVE it! My Mom's sewing machine my Granny bought her years ago has made up permanent residence at my house and I have had fun with several different projects in the past few months.

My Lil' Sis really likes the crop knit shorts and in Round Top they were selling them with appliqued letters and when I saw the price I leaned over to Hillary and said, "I CAN MAKE THOSE!" Now...don't get me wrong. Sometimes things are worth spending the $$ because either I don't feel confident enough to make it OR it's just something I would NEVER try to conquer but for this I was UP for this challenge. After a trip to Hobby Lobby with my Mom and a few calls to Brooke with some questions I was ready to CONQUER the "machine" for this new project!

Off to Target to find Hill's crop shorts and then out with my Cricut! This is the first time I had ever tried cutting fabric and it worked WONDERFULLY! It didn't like cutting the Minky so I cut a pattern and used it instead. It's always fun when beginning a new project. I don't know about you but I always sit back and do the "What if I do this?" Or "What about that?" If you're not careful you'll "what if" yourself to DEATH! Or at least I do!

In my personal (and humble) opinion I think I did a REALLY good job! HA! I did learn a few things but for the most part I had figured out enough before I got started and it went really fast and simple! Here's the final product...I text a picture to my sister and she replied back with an "OHHH, those are SOOO cute!" So, we'll see when she puts them on and to the test if they really ARE!
