But I think this would work for girlfriend gifts, birthday gifts and a “just because” gift.

Stars and Stripes Pant

It has been a wonderful, hectic, crazy week for me. I gave birth to our little man over the weekend and he is the most beautiful baby, but he is not ready to come home right away so with all that and my healing and hormones going whack, I am posting a project I did a year ago. (You guys will give me a break right!?)

 I really liked how easy it was to put together and I know I am the kind of gal that looks for projects that turn out cute but take the least amount of effort and time. So here it is… my stars and striped pants.

So I have been wanting some ruffle pants for my girls,

I mean they are so stinkin cute, but I was not about to pay $60.00 for an outfit!
I thought maybe I could do it myself.
Now I am NOT a sewer, I can do a hem and sew in a straight line and all, but that is it.
Growing up my sisters and I all got a sewing machine’s when we turned 14 (I think)
So I have had this machine for a while and I am so grateful to have it. Thanks mom!
This is what I came up with.
