Here's another project for my little neice, Marisa. It was just something
I made with a piece of vintage gauze fabric from Goodwill, that I paid all of .25 cents for! I wanted to check the size on her before I cut into a "good" piece of fabric. I simply love the way it worked up and how it looked paired with some leggings that I had from Walmart, which I only paid $3.50...for a grand total of $3.75 for the outfit! not bad, hey? I mailed it to her and it fits perfect...so I plan on making a few more for her and to put into a spring craft show I have planned in May. Hopefully, I can get a picture of her modeling it to post in the future....if she will cooperate! Those 2-yr olds have a mind of thier own!

145791How cute! And don't we all love a bargin? Guess we better all head for the Goodwill stores! I did get a neat jeans shirt one time for 50 cents, got home & it had a hole in the back...I just embroidered a button over the hole along with some more buttons! Been wearing it for years now!

thanks! I have been picking up jean skirts from Goodwill to cut apart for the fabric. Look in the plus sizes...lots of fabric in the bigger skirts to work with. I love having the denim handy!

33575Very pretty outfit.. the snow in behind looks cold tho! Nice to see you posting again. The first project I remember seeing on cute was your 'non-owl' placemat bags - got me hooked on this site - I thought they were so cute.

Kathy...the pattern is Simplicity 5695. Very easy...especially using a serger. I think I had the top yoke section put together (before stitching down the neck & sleeve casings) in about 5 minutes! The length of the skirt was determined by how much fabric I had left on the piece when I was cutting it out..he he...so it's a little shorter than the dress view on the pattern, but a nice length for a top!
