Grit n' Grind Made Girly

You already know we are big Grizzlies fans. And you are also aware we have the prissiest little girly girl ever. Well, sometimes being a sports fan and a princess is hard. In a world of oversized t-shirts and jerseys sometimes you just need a good ruffle, am I right? So Mommy intervened.

I started with an XL Grizzlies playoff shirt from last season that a sweet friend donated to the cause.

Then I sliced off the sleeves. (sorry I forgot to do step by step pictures, but you can find this idea on Pinterest OR just picture it in your head, it really is too easy to do.) 

Then I cut a straight line across the top directly below the neck hole.

Then I hemmed the arm holes and sewed them together a bit to make the opening smaller. I folded the top over and sewed straight across to make two columns to feed the ribbon through that became her straps.

I also got a coordinating piece of Grizzlies blue fabric and made a ruffle that I added around the bottom

And, Ta-Da!

Look how happy she is, the picture is blurry because she wouldn't stop twirling in it!

Sassy pants.

Go Grizz!

Go Grizz:: Playoff Fever

We are big Grizzlies fans. Matt has been involved in the team since they came to Memphis, and held season tickets for the last 6 years. We try to keep it in perspective and remember it is just a game...I mean that is our goal.

Sometimes we get a little enthusiastic though. Especially when our beloved Grizz are in the second round of playoffs. Sometimes we rush meetings, bedtimes, dinners and work because the Grizz are about to tip off. Sometimes we go to work on < 5 hrs sleep because we have to watch till the very end. Yeah, we have the fever.

So Go Grizz! We are all heart, grit and grind, just like our city. The wins aren't always the prettiest or easiest won, but we fight for them. Here's to the playoffs!
