Frugal MLP shorts

I have had this pile of Lizzy's jeans in my "mend" pile for about 4 months. OOPS! We have already acquired new jeans for her and I was tempted to just toss the whole pile. The crafter in me halted my purge, and the idea for hand made jeans arose. I wanted Lizzy to be a part of this project, so we sat down together and brainstormed ways to make these the cutest jean shorts ever. :)

Thanks to McDonalds and morning cartoons, My Little Pony is a big theme in our house lately. Not to mention the drama of school bus show and tell. ;P (Ahhh... the joys of childhood.) So we decided to embellish with cutie marks. A few google searches later, and I have found the perfect template for my cutie marks. I decided I wanted to try my hand at embroidering again. Its been a few years since my last attempt. But i recently came across my hoop, and the idea has been growing at the back of my mind

Im doing simple cross stitch. Just making Xs where each pixo-dot-thingy is. I'm pretty much winging it. lol. Lizzy approved the apple i made for apple jack. I'm working on balloons for pinkie pie at the moment. I will post pictures soon. :)
