Following Wild Oats Tour (roughly 1 PM -3 PM)
Pajama Bottoms!
What to bring: Three yards of fabric of your choice (nothing stretchy, just the regular fabric that we always use for everything else is fine). 2 yards of 3/4" wide elastic (give or take).
After we finished the tour of Wild Oats, I grabbed the kids lunch at Wendy's and we headed to Melodie's for sewing. The kids made PJ bottoms. The group seemed to work well, we had a machine for each kid and Josh (Melodie's oldest) had finished up most of the work on his before we got there, so we could look at them as a prototype. True, Emily and Hannah have become old hands at sewing. Sarah joined us for the first time and it was impressive how well her project turned out. What was most impressive was than in just about 2 hours we managed to cut pants from a pattern, sew them, hem them and MODEL them (picture to be posted soon).
On the ride home, we all decided it was definitely EASIER and possibly even CHEAPER to buy pj bottoms at OLD NAVY but we had a blast learning a new skill! Hannah even wore hers to the dance studio to model them for her friends!

I wish we had known about this...but I probably would not have been able to come. :-( I do miss seeing your family so much
We squeezed it in after Wild Oats, figured you would have gymnastics. Melodie is working now so it is getting harder to squeeze in sewing! We have to fit it in around her work schedule now.
