Getting Ready For The New School Year!!

It is that time of year to begin inventory on your kids clothes before school starts.  My goodness, I have to start all over with Xavia..  There were a few items that Xavia wanted me to alter, as she says, "Mom, we can reduce, reuse, recycle this."  Anyway, I got to put my sewing skills to work.  I have to admit here that reconstructing clothes is a bit scary for me.  I just have this pile of clothes that I plan on altering and I just sit on them.  I have these breathing exercises, sometimes it's  a pep talk to myself, to get over this fear.  Quilting is another one of those frightening endevors.  Enough of quilting for now.  The point I am getting to is that the clothing I reconstructed for Xavia turned out great.  I plan to post pictures when she comes home so you can see for yourself.  The real test, of course, is does Xavia like them?

First thing she did when she got home was put this shirt on. I guess she likes it.
