First, the winners…
As I recently posted, I had been asked to make some fabric play food for a Friend’s daughter. Here are the pictures of the two I’ve made so far:
Almost good enough to eat!
Now, the not so good…
I bought this dress at a thrift store last week for about $5.00
I really like the pattern, but the figure was extremely unflattering.
So I set off to remake the dress in to a cute skirt
I cut the top off…
… and sized some elastic…
But, in the end, the skirt was WAY too big. My un-educated guess would be that I didn’t size the elastic tight enough for my waist
So, I decided to cut the skirt and make it more like a pencil skirt.
This also failed miserably…
I think I’ve decided to just turn the fabric into a pillow…
At least, now I have some extra fabric to play with, and still have the top portion of the dress that I could play around with…
I think I’ve decided I need to go down to NM and spend a week with my mom re-teaching myself how to sew.
Or perhaps I should stick with sewing fruits and veggies…
