Where there is a will there is a way! :)

I am really excited. Abby has professional pictures being taken tomorrow for her gymnastics recital. Anyways I've been hoping Abby's shirt would come in time for me to turn it up b/c they said the smallest they could get was a 4T. Well, she's JUST moving in to a 3T from a 2T. Turns out the shirt they gave me is a 4/5 and is too big for LUKE! It really looked ridicules on her. I couldn't imagine taking her picture in it, so I went to work.

I found a great tutorial online that gave clear instructions on how to re-size a shirt. Here is the difference between a shirt she is moving in to and the shirt they gave me.

Here it is after I cut the arms off. "There's no going back now!" Man was this scary!

opps! I had quite a few errors. First time I sewed it on perfect, just inside out! Second time I somehow sewed it REALLY off... w/ a gap on top! 3rd time the fabric kept getting sucked in to the machine b/c the thread popped off one of the arms, w/ out my seeing.

Ahhhhh finally! a shirt that fits, (aside from the huge logo). I ended up turning in the sleeves and stitching them as well. In the picture they are just turned up for size.

Anyways.... I'm all proud of myself b/c it really seemed like an impossible task to me, but I wanted my lil' girl to look good for her picture so bad!

That's my great accomplishment for the day aside from watching the Indians defeat the Yankees 10-2! Poor Rich took off work early to watch the Yankee's home opener in their new stadium! He and Luke were not very happy w/ the results of the game. At least one of us could enjoy it! :)

GO TRIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!

My tummy must be growing b/c I've been feeling pulling and tender muscles all day. Well off to bed.. Rich hasn't been feeling well the last 2 hours and is getting comfy on the couch. I gotta get outta here! I really hope he's not getting something awful that's all we need! :(
