Shayla's Peace Shorts

So I was trying my hand at some free-style embroidery and sewed this peace sign onto some fabric. Then I got this wacky idea. Put it on a pair of shorts for Mini Me!

I started out with this:





Grabbed my cutting board, rotary cutter, and made a hole on the back side. I would have done this on the front but the pockets were in the way. And Shayla liked the idea of a peace sign on her butt.



I love that miniature cutting board I have. Really useful at odd times. I sliced back and forth with the rotary to make it easy to get a hole going. Once the hole was the size I wanted I slipped in the fabric, lined up the peace sign, and pinned in place.
Shayla picked the stitch she wanted for it and sat in my lap and we carefully sewed around the hole. I made sure to sew far enough away from the edge of the hole so I could cut tiny fringes along the hole. This way it'll look cuter when we wash it and it starts to fray. 
Vwahla! Peace Shorts!
