How Cute. I remember my Mom doing that for us girls. Mom even made me a coat out of my Dads old Pea Coat. And his Old sailer hats became our summer hats. and his old whites became our new summer cloths. Nothing went to waste.

Those are the most adorable dresses I've ever seen. I can't wait to see the girls in them and I think you have a hit on your hands.

Those dresses are adorable! Leave it to you to make something like that out of pants! The girls will never want to part with them!
You better be careful, you might be getting orders for more after they wear them for everyone to see!!!
Get your machine ready!!!!

Mimisharon,
I agree with Susie, those little girls may make a TV news appearance, magazine picture or newspaper picture. Wouldn't that be a hoot for them and you. I have seen a lot of DIY projects (ie: reuse it), but this is the cutest yet. Their daddy will be speechless.

I've always been a 'jeans & t-shirts" gal, but even I would've liked one of those! Great job Sharon - you're a peach!!! Can't wait to see their pics with Daddy....
