mini polo dress for toddler


My cousin movd out recently and left a few polo shirts behind...they were really nice brands and I wanted to rework them into mini dress's for a little girl I know... The same concept as my strawbery costume but on a smaller scale...I love how it turned out. I'm also going to dye it to a girly color. Mabie lavender? Or orange?

strawberry girl costume




So I loved this strawberry girl costume I found online but I couldn’t find any store that carried it....sooooo I made one!! I went to a thrift store and found a 3xl men’s red polo shirt. I cut the shoulders off and used bias binding to finish the top edge. I loved the collar so I made sure to incorporate that in the design. I took the side seams in a little and put some princess line darts in the back to give it some shape. I made this supper cute hairpiece to go with it. I hope you like it!

cowbella doll


I found this amazing vintage cowbella doll pattern at a thrift store in clearlake. I just had to make it!! Is it not the cutest thing you have ever seen!!

oilcloth handbag


So my best friend talked me into going with her into San Francisco to a Spat making demo at a museum. It was super fun but I finished my spats, ( which I gave to my friend to wear because I never would!! ), way before my friend and I could not help myself and had to do something with all the unused pieces that the demo providers were going to throw away! So I made this little Clutch purse. There are 3 different patterns of oilcloth used. It’s lined with foamy in black glitter which was not such a great idea, however the liner makes it hold its shape very well. Its supper cute and everyone loves it!
