School pictures were a week or so ago and of course I wanted to make something for the Little Miss to wear!
And of course I waited until after dinner the night before. Isn't that how it's supposed to be?
Last minute on school pictures and halloween costumes?
I'm pretty sure that's in the parenting handbook somewhere.

Anyway, my plan was to make a simple skirt out of this beautiful Anna Maria Horner Innocent Crush fabric. I hemmed up a piece and used some fold over elastic to make a simple gathered skirt. Seriously love that stuff. I just pull it taught while sewing it to the fabric; it scrunches up AND finishes the edge at the same time. Score! When I tried the skirt on E. it was too long and being that it was late I wasn't about to re-do it. Instead I went "shopping" in E's room for something that might work.
I found an old, sorta stained, used to be white tank top during my hunt and decided I could attach the skirt to the tank and make a little dress. Pinned it. Sewed it. Done. Covered up the stained shirt with a sweater and we were in business! It went so well I had to make one for a friends little girl. This time I found a 3 dollar clearance shirt and some cute whimsical mushroom fabric that I know my friend will love!

of course you made another one; you are incapable of just making one of something. LOL :)
Seriously though, they are so cute. I need to find some of this FOE everyone keeps blogging about....
Oh, they came out so cute!
adorable MC! she looks too cute.
Love 'em!
i love this! she's so fly!
next thing you know she's going to start taking orders.
Love it! And, yes, I think you're right that last-minute is part of the parenting code. I remember growing up and watching my mom finish dresses or shirts or costumes the night before we needed them. It makes for good memories. :) Little Miss is lucky to have you!
