More Cousins and a T-shirt Re-do

For the second half of Spring Break, we enjoyed cousins locally.

Candice and I made a plans for our kids. We met at a fun park and played for a while, then swapped kids... boys to her house, girls to mine. They played and spent the night together. (Forgot to take pictures... totally unlike me.)


The next day, Amber Munt and her kids came over to play too. We decided to do a t-shirt re-do together. I had been wanting to do this for months and had seen a ton of tutorials out there.

Take 2 t-shirts of the same color. Re-size and cut the neckline, of the one to wear.
Cut the second one into strips. Then baste and gather the strips into ruffles.
Decide on how you want your ruffles to look. Like this..
..or this..
..or this..
..or this..
..or this.

Honestly, I still haven't decided.
Next up, I took a t-shirt that was too big (now). I took in the sides about 3 inches and "pleated" the neckline. I'm hoping the adjustments I've made will make it fit better, but I haven't finished this one either.

Sometimes I hate being so visual... can't tell if I'll like it, until I actually see the end result.


I really should finsh these up, so I'll have some new shirts to wear. :)

Gettin' Ready

In getting ready for the cousin party,
I put nicknames on the back of our team shirts and...
our team logo on the front.
Our flag is done. Our derbies are done. And now our team shirts are done.
We're ready for the cousin party to begin!
