May 13th, things i have been wanting to get done, part 1

dri fit shirt i made for Tyler for tennis, looks great but the collar is being difficult. It's very hard to find tall sizes!!
pattern on skirt i made for Sheena, that took me forever to finish
skirt that i made probably 6 months ago for Sheena and just had to put elastic in it
I also sewed a mattress pad, patched up a pair of my jeans & sheena's jean

3. she runs
4. she hangs out with her friends
5. she rides her bike
6. she is helping coach NHS & NMS track
7. she works out
8. she has a "friend"
9. she is enjoying being on summer break from college & having the house to herself during the day while we are at work/school
10. she's 19 and not home much, what else can i say! maybe i can take a picture of her to post so you know she is still around
