You could cut them off a little shorter to make capris and add a ruffle. Then make buttonholes in the denim above the ruffle and thread ribbon through and tie a bow. This looks really cute.
Maybe Susie (her AG doll) would like to pose with her when I get to take pics of her new outfits tomorrow 
AWWWW thank you!!! I snapped a pic JUST FOR YOU last night!!!
here's my baby...settling for the DOG bed b/c his mama was working too late!
Her name is Raven. She is half minpin/half miniature dachsund.
Awwww! Thanks so much for the sweet words about my eBooks.It makes me so happy to know that you all are getting lots of use out of my eBooks and find my little tricks and tips helpful.
Thanks also for the input on the sizing. I will definitely pass the information on to Kim.Like I said, the YCMT patterns are something new and are a separate product from the individually authored eBooks. So we are very interested in customer feedback, and it will help us in developing new patterns.
My SewBoutique4Dolly patterns are still going to be in the full size range (plus dolly), that isn't going to change. In fact, this new shirt one is going to start at 6 months and go through size 7/8. I am soooooo excited about it!!! I've been playing around with the construction so that the front placket is constructed separately from the rest of the shirt. That way, if you mess up on the buttonholes, you don't have to worry about ruining the shirt - you just pitch the placket make a new one. There will also be lots of options for the piecing - vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, solid, etc. Here is another one - the first attempt, actually:
I pretty much have the collars and sleeves the way I want them now. The patterns are pretty much there, I just have to sit down and WRITE.
Anyways, thanks again for all the kind words and helpful input! Coming here definitely motivates me!!!

LOVE your patterns! So, are you saying that there will also be a dolly pattern for this boy shirt?
That is awesome because poor bitty twin is always being left out!

sounds like your littles ones got "a bit o' the devil in them" as my Irish grandmother would say!Are Luke and Lily partners in crime often?
poor love sac...is it dead? Don't you WISH you could get inside children's heads and see what it was that possessed them to do such a thing? They must have had a reason of some sort! Teddy's reason for plugging the bathroom sinks was "He thought it would be funny..."
NOT funny.
Love your Irish grandmother! Indeed they do. Luke is quite the instigator. Lily just sort of plays along. They like to "clean" things and I'm pretty sure that is what they were up to. I found a scrub brush behind a chair. The other day they "cleaned" the basement bathroom floor by covering it with soap and water. I swear, I was 10 feet away and did not realize they were making such a mess. (that bathroom has a door that opens into my craft room and one that opens into the family room). This is a new thing for those two. They have been pretty easy kids for the most part. And I SO did not laugh or crack a smile at that little stinker last night. I hope the lovesac is not dead. I took the cover off and washed it, but I don't think there is enough ventilation in the basment for it to dry out very quickly, so I need to see if DH can help me shove it up the stairs. It will be tricky. I think that old sofa is dead though. I didn't like it anyway 
No sewing for me yet. My dad is in the hospital with pneumonia so mom has been with him in the evenings. I am hoping maybe this weekend we will start in on one of the outfits. She is still teaching me the ropes so I am not brave enough to start in on my own.
Although not sewing related, Erin and I did work on her countdown chain:

Men's shirt- do you think this would be hard to make? Or do you know of a pattern that would be good?
Oooh, did you make that outfit? I remember drooling over that on
We all mess up. . . the WoW can be tough. . . I am lucky I am satisfied with soda (seems like east coast LDS people don't read it as all caffeine, U mean it does say HOT DRINKS
AWWW - I cannot wait. DH and I are going to start trying at the end of this year. I NEED to lose some weight and I have to get my cancer all clear (was diagnosed almost 5 years ago). . . I definitely have the baby bug, but we have to wait for the all clear, and in the mean time I need to get some lbs off (will be better for me and hopefully future babies).
I REALLY like this fabric. . . goofy has always been my second favorite Disney Character (after Tigger). . .
your way! Congratulations on five years, that is fantastic! Not at all.
I DO finally have the pictures from my sister. And enough posts to show you guys these... I realize it's the same pattern, but they are different... I promise! Ok, maybe not by much, but I want to share them all anyway. The purple one is for a cousin, the others are for two of my sister in laws. One is due May 1st. I can't wait!!!
The blue one is blurry.... it's not your eyes! Thanks for looking!
Good Morning... I practiced the multi quote thing and was so very pleased with myself and feeling all fancy schmancy and poof its gone on me!
Anyway beautiful work everyone! Still wishing I had my own little girley to sew for.
Today my youngest turned 12. Our trip in 2 weeks is a surprise for my boys so I got a 25 piece Disney puzzle and wrote Happy Birthday Jake and Levi and put Disney World April 27-May4, 2008. On the back of each piece I put direction for a treasure hunt to find each piece... Some very simple and some rather complex treasure hunting will be going on. The last puzzle piece will tell them to go to the coffee table and make the puzzle. I just finished costumes for the Pirate and Princess party. (I wanna be a pirate) I made skull caps, put a jolly roger on t-shirts and a red sash belt. (They have black bathing suits)At that point I will Have them open their costumes and read about the P&PP. My dear hubby asked if he gets a costume. He is such a good sport. (I made him to match the boys.)
Well that is quite a ramble. I am just so excited to FINALLY tell them!
I'm off to an IEP meeting and the youngest's school and then home to make fudgy chocolate cake. I have lost 27 pounds for this trip... I so wish he had chosen a cake I didn't like.
Happy Day eveyone!
for you for losing 27 pounds! That is hard work!So here is my Bad Mom of the Year story...
Last night I was fininshing up DD's Pooh outfit. (I worked on the 1950 Singer and got it working again). I had just ironed the straps and needed her to try it on one more time before I sewed them in place. As I was pinning, she decided to touch the iron!
That is the worst sound ever! I think I heard her skin sizzle.
I can't believe I did not turn it off!
It has not blistered so I think we got to it fast enough. Now she is scared to come in the room with the iron! AAAAHHHHH!!! Leson learned!
! I was furious! Glad you knew what to do for her!
ouch! I had the best mom in the world! but she liked to tell me the story of the time when I was a baby and she pinned my diaper right to my flesh
Oh one totally OT question...DH has agreed that we will have one night to go out to eat at WDW just me and him
I finally got my niece's Pink Panther outfit finished. It was supposed to be for her b'day (March 29th) but I just got it finished.
Um okay I completely BURST...loudly...into tears over those pictures! Hand over my mouth crying like a big baby! What gorgeous gorgeous children!! And Luke too! Absolutely scrumptious little munchkins. I remember well when teddy was 3...where have the years gone. He looks like a little man. It's killing me how big he's getting...both front teeth gone...angles all over the place. Although the crocs we got for him are HUGE. He woke up this morning and wanted to know if he'd grown into them overnight..seeing as how he IS six now!
AWWWW thank you!!! I snapped a pic JUST FOR YOU last night!!!
here's my baby...settling for the DOG bed b/c his mama was working too late!
Sally does actually have some boutique needs! MissCammie has got herself some IDEAS!!!! Shall I PM you?
for all y'all believers in Half Birthdays!!! I knew I wasn't alone!!!
and here's a sort of pic of Teddy and his new Webkinz he opened this morning!
Teddy actually needs a little prayer this morning...his birthday morning...yesterday he and a few of his partners in crime decided it would be a good idea to plug up FOUR bathroom sinks, turn on the sinks and leave the bathroom. They flooded the entire bathroom and a good part of the hallway. This is the fourth time in two weeks he's been in some actual trouble. AND he fibbed about it. Somebody thought it was funny when she was told what had happened. Laughed about it. In front of him. So now he is laughing about it and probably planning his next bit of naughtiness.
this is a trend lately. It's concerning. And frustrating.
I have been saying prayers to St. Jude for him all morning...the Patron Saint of Lost Causes! Cuz his goose is COOKED on this one. Has to see the principal on his birthday. Had his classroom cupcake privileges revoked.
I'm worried about my little Teddy. HOw is he ever going to know what is right and wrong when one half of his life excuses away and laughs at rather serious situations?
yay step parenting ROCKS!
OH and Nurse CrabbyRump at the office was none to happy to see me this morning...rash is mostly gone...and it WAS the detergent...but she made a nasty face at me when i came in AND when she weighed me she told me that I looked unhealthy and being too thin is unattractive...
wow.
Did that nurse just call me ugly?!
and I'm NOT too thin.
I just need a sewing machine.
and the ability to sew.
So I can make clothes that fit me properly.
*ahem*

I was slightly before/just at the beginning of disposable diapers but my mom used cloth. Somehow she managed to get a yellowjacket caught in my diaper while diapering me. Of course I screamed since it stung me several times before she figured out what it was. How did she manage that though?
You should've seen this (not young, not small) woman dancing around shrieking and screaming "there's a bee in my girdle!". It was many years ago and my DSis and I still laugh about it. She was fine BTW, we were not the only ones laughing. Now how do you get a bee in your girdle?
