OK, y'all wanted to see what I would do with the cami pants that the daddy couldn't wear to work in anymore. Lotta pickin' went on to get these out of two pair of Camis


Whatcha think???

Course they HAD to have purses, made with the back pockets

Both girls wear the same size, one I ironed the godet to pleat and one I left the way it should have been.

cuties....looking forward to the "real" pictures

mimisharon 04-20-2009 04:33 PM

Mom promised me pictures of the girls in the dresses and with Daddy! He comes home Wednesday. Took me longer to pick out the threads to get the cargo pockets for the front and back of the skirts than anything. My son felt bad for me so he helped pick out one set of cargo pockets.


But it was worth it when I saw Mom's face and the girls faces. They wanted to wear them Saturday until Daddy come home. Made me cry. I didn't charge her what I should have because I'm a sap for homecoming military. :wink:

You are so kind! I really enjoyed making them, knowing that he's coming home Wednesday. It's just such a special time to have these Marines coming home.

I'm sure she won't mind, I will share them as soon as I get them. I think she's going to end up being a friend. She's young, mid twenties, I think. But maybe I'll get her started sewing and quilting before it's over with...

I cry every time I look at the pictures, believe me. I don't know if it's cause Dad is coming home to them, if it's me being a big softie, or if it's cause I never had girls. Probably why I spoiled the grandgirls so much and my neices think I can do anything. :lol: :lol:

mimisharon 04-20-2009 07:29 PM

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I needed to hear good things today!
XOXOXOXO

crkathleen 04-20-2009 08:31 PM

What adorable dresses made even more special because of the fabric that was used to make them :lol: It is amazing what you did with old uniforms :thumbup: You add another dimension to going green :shock: I just know Dad will be speechless.. Thank You for sharing

Those little dresses are the cutest thing, I have ever seen.
I can imagine how proud the little girls will be wearing them.
Especialy made of Daddy's pants. How adorable, mimisharon.
:D :D :D :D :D

How Cute. I remember my Mom doing that for us girls. Mom even made me a coat out of my Dads old Pea Coat. And his Old sailer hats became our summer hats. and his old whites became our new summer cloths. Nothing went to waste.

key4unc 04-21-2009 02:21 AM

If those aren't just the most precious things!

reneebobby 04-21-2009 02:43 AM

Those are the most adorable dresses I've ever seen. I can't wait to see the girls in them and I think you have a hit on your hands.
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

thismomquilts 04-21-2009 03:19 AM

absolutely adorable. i, too, am a sap for homecoming military - they'd have been saturated with tears had i made them!! :) great job!!

KGoodhand 04-21-2009 04:27 AM

Those dresses are adorable! Leave it to you to make something like that out of pants! The girls will never want to part with them!
You better be careful, you might be getting orders for more after they wear them for everyone to see!!!
Get your machine ready!!!!

Oh my gosh. Those are awesome..... What a great idea

Tink's Mom 04-21-2009 10:05 AM

Sharon, I bet those girls, in those dresses, make the front page of the newspaper.... Great work!!!

Knot Sew 04-21-2009 10:34 AM

You did a great job sharon...Dad is sure to spot them fast in their new dresses :D

hereca622 04-21-2009 11:09 AM

Mimisharon,
I agree with Susie, those little girls may make a TV news appearance, magazine picture or newspaper picture. Wouldn't that be a hoot for them and you. I have seen a lot of DIY projects (ie: reuse it), but this is the cutest yet. Their daddy will be speechless.

I've always been a 'jeans & t-shirts" gal, but even I would've liked one of those! Great job Sharon - you're a peach!!! Can't wait to see their pics with Daddy....
