50's Homeschool Sock Hop

We had a Back to School Sock Hop with our homeschool group in September. So I thought I would whip us up some skirts. We had a sewing day with other women who actually KNEW how to sew. I thought I'd give it a shot...how hard could it be...it's only felt and elastic, right?

OH *&^%$#@...&$%#^!@*...*#^@*#^@%^#&$!

I really am allergic to sewing machines! These stinkin' skirts took me a week to finish! That was WITH 2 days of help from other people who actually knew what they were doing!

What a crappy week I had of cutting and stitching and cussing really loud (only in my head-not out loud), AARRHHH! I feel like John did after tiling our kitchen! I'll never do that again! Some people were meant to sew and some were meant to SHOP-That would be me!

I kept telling Lake that her skirt was my favorite, because GRAMMY made hers for her last year! I didn't have to do anything except put it on her! That's why it's my favorite!

Summer's skirt had way too much material! But I had no idea of what I was doing and I was at the mercy of the other women that were all giving me different advice. Summer made her applique' which I thought turned out VERY CUTE!

Sky LOVED having the Pink Poodle! She is such a Girley-Girl!

It's funny that you can tell the kiddos that stay close enough to get their pictures. As they get older I seem to get less and less pictures!

Be-Boppin'

Twist it up Lake!

All in all the kids had a GREAT time with their friends and they all did look Super Cute dancing around in all their cute 50' outfits. We had almost 70 people there and it was a wonderful night to hang out with all of our homeschool friends! We really love our homeschool group! Fun! Fun! Fun!

Here is a little tidbit of how the evening went down. Make sure you watch to see John's SWEET moves!
