#5 Boy's shorts...aren't they adorable!
While
buying the material I realized that our shirts wouldn't really match
and so Dad and I decided that we would buy white shirts and paint them
with red and blue stars. We were able to find fabric paint and
shirts...but we had to make-shift our own star stamps. We bought foam
stars and foam marshmallows which we stuck to the back of the stars.
The kids all loved decorating their own shirts.

We
did the 4 older kid's shirts for Family Home Evening but waited to do
the others for a night after the kids had gone to bed. These are the
kids shirts.
I was a bit disappointed this year... our ward didn't do their usual
4th of July breakfast (since they are doing a big get together on the
24th for our ward's 30th anniversary) and the 4th was also on a Sunday.
On the 3rd I did some usual sewing since I still needed to finish up Dad and #5 Boy's pajamas. Later in the day I decided to use all the
extra material to make skirts and ties for the little ones. This
picture shows #5 Boy's tie on an elastic but I ended up just sewing it
onto a onesie...almost to the last stitch and my sewing machine died!
The kids loved their ties and skirts!
