Shorts

[Empress Busy Bee]

I bought shorts last summer that were very plain. My daughter didn't want to wear them. So I added flowers.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

Those are cute. I know she wears them now or when it gets hot if you're in a city where it is cold right now like where I am.

Cute Empress. Did it work, will she wear them now?

Good idea! It looks good.

Yes and no. She agreed to wear them but they were mismarked and too big. We have to wait until it warms up so she can wear them this year.

That is a great way to fix plain clothes. I have a bag of hearts, flowers & all kinds of motifs that I make for putting on Caitlin's jeans, shorts & dresses. I looked at it the other day & was suprised at how much I've put in there. I just make them when I'm not doing anything else. I get lots of compliments when I say I made that!

I'm not surprised. Most people don't even think to do this with embellishments they can find already made up on the store. I remember when I was in middle school and high school, my mom used to embellish stuff for me all the time because the premade stuff was so overpriced. She used to sew buttons or zippers all over my shirts (yes I was an 80's child). Once she sewed those ribbon roses and bows on my jeans because a pair I wanted was more than she wanted to pay. I was SURE everyone would think these were homemade, but every single time I wore them, girls would ask me where I bought them, and some even asked how much my mom would charge to make them a pair. Shocking considering it's not like it took any real talent to tack premade roses to a pair of jeans. They told me their moms didn't know how to do that sort of thing.

 

For you to actually make the embellishments yourself probably impresses people even more.
