Rags to Riches: an embroidery project!

I recently saw a few photos on one of my favorite sites for machine embroidery patterns.  It was of a denim jean skirt with a ribbon trimmed hem.  Now, one of my biggest pet peeves is that my daughter grows out of the length of her jeans way before she grows out of the waistline.  I thought to myself, "I can do that!"  So here is my attempt:



After I took out the seams, I embroidered a few designs on the front and the back of the skirt.  One thing I learned, my embroidery machine DOES NOT like stretch denim!  But I persevered and finished it.  I also learned that the ribbons need to go side by side to lay right, no overlapping!  Megan loved it, and I do, too!  I just can't help it, it's too stinkin' cute!  Tell me what you think!  Thanks for stopping by.
