I've always wanted to make dress up clothes for my daughters. I made an Elsa princess dress a few years ago that I enjoyed creating, but not much else since then. A few weeks ago around my youngest daughter's birthday, a lightbulb went off. You might remember from my last post that I created birthday table displays using inexpensive party decorations, including plastic tablecloths that cost about $1. As I was picking up the latest display, I got the idea to recycle the tablecloth into a play dress! The first one I made was from the pink tablecloth in the display shown above. I felt I had to create at least one more so they wouldn't fight over one dress, but it soon escalated to a total of four dresses that I made over the following weeks. I bought more tablecloths, solely for the purpose of making dresses this time. It was fun stocking up on different colors, hehe. I drafted my own patterns to my girls' measurements, and I had fun getting creative
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Mine was fantastic! Today, while everyone else begins their holiday shopping in full force, I am frantically preparing for the Annual Keene Craft Show tomorrow. I encourage anyone who is in the area to stop by Keene High School to shop some wonderful handmade goods by talented local crafters!
In addition, my sister Dani will be there to sell some of her children's books and comics, which she will happily sign for you. Hope you can make it! It's going to be a blast. :)
