Just call me Jen

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery right?

So I walk into my MOPS group this morning wearing my "Tots & J-lo" inspired cardi and my friend (Samantha) says,

"Well I guess we should just call you Jen."

Ha!  She totally blew my cover that I designed it myself!

You totally know which Jen I'm talking about right (of Tatertots & Jello)? 

Awhile back she posted a tutorial on making this striped shirt into a cardi.  I had the exact same shirt.  (We would so be friends in real life.)  It was #49 on my list of things to do but something else distracted me, as usual, and I forgot about it.  Then last night I was thinking that I wanted to wear something cute to MOPS in the morning and as I was looking through my closet (in the dark because my kids were asleep in my bed) I saw the shirt and remembered my plan to copy her. 

 All I did was cut down the center, fold each side under 1", and stitch.  She used hem tape which made the whole thing look a lot more professional, but I didn't have any on hand and it was 11:00 PM. 

Besides, I knew that my cute fabric flower would take the attention away from my lack of sewing expertise. 

Love ya, Jen!
