Last minute outfit

So we have a wedding to go to tomorrow, and I was trying to think of something for the boys to wear. I cut up these pants a few weeks ago, but never got around to sewing them. And I had also been thinking of taking some of the boys' sweaters and turning them into vests for summer. So I pulled everything out and thought I would just see how far I could get before bed and then, surprise! 15 minutes later I had a new outfit!!!! 

I started with this sweater that I always liked but the sleeves were a little long, so I would always end up rolling them up and then it looked sloppy to me.

So I cut it up.

Then turned the sweater inside out, and with right sides together, pinned the cuff to the armhole and sewed with a zig-zag stitch.

Done!

5 minutes!!

I had already cut the legs off these pants and used the leftovers to make the little tabs.

I sewed around and clipped the points.

Then top-stitched.

I pinned everything in place, and sewed the tabs to the pants as I hemmed at the same time.

I added a button and the shorts were done.

10 minutes!!

I can't believe that's all it was. So easy! I love it :o)

I'll try to get a picture of my cute little guy in it at the wedding tomorrow.
