Making shorts (x4) for Dash Hawk (part one)

Dash is very Skinny. He is 6 but fits a size 4t-5t, he is however, young man now and would rather look his age :)
This is my process of mass production. Shorts times four.
Wash fabrics, Iron fabrics and pattern. Lay out with all folded edges carefully matched. Cut out all layers with one stroke. After cutting out (I use a power rotary cutter and mat).
Separate fronts and backs into four piles (lefts/rights) keeping the prints in respective order.

Sew the piping onto all fronts, here you don't even need to clip between fabrics just sew all four then clip and re-stack.










as you re-stack the fronts add the pockets to all, face down ,one print on the other.








Match edges and pin pockets sew them on the same way, one pile at a time, no need to clip in between.


re-stack all front rights, front lefts, back rights, back lefts. keeping them seperate from each other , and in order of prints.

Now press one stack at a time. Match front and back lefts, front and back rights and pin and stack now you will go to the machine once with a pile of eight seams to sew 4 rights and four. lefts.Stay tuned have other chores to do I"ll get back to this soon.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
