First sewing project!

While my mom was in town I got her to give me a sewing lesson! We went to a fabric store and picked out a pattern for boy's shorts and some gingham fabric. My mom is really a wiz at this - I don't know why she didn't make clothes for Mary Beth and I when we were little! Before I knew it she had the pattern all laid out and pinned to the fabric…

And a few hours later we had this…

I really can't take credit - I did probably 10% of it. Mom would get it ready and I would sew a straight line - ha! But they turned out so well that now I want to try another pair by myself! I tried to get a picture of Will wearing them and couldn't pick just one - we had nice sunny weather here this weekend and I think he was just LOVING running around outside!
