This week's theme for "Crafting with the Stars" and "Crafting From the Sidelines" is Fabric. Well, I am pretty darn good with spray paint, I am pretty darn good with dumpster diving, I am even pretty darn good with a drill, but I am not all that great with a sewing machine. I knew this week's challenge would be, well, a challenge.
After browsing through Pinterest for a while, scratching my head, and staring at my sewing machine for a while, I decided that what I really wanted was a Halloween costume. A while back I found this little gem on Etsy:
Problem: Price tag didn't match my wallet size.
I decided I wasn't going to let that stop me. I headed out to, where else, Goodwill. I found myself a $7 Limited dress (super cute) and then headed next door to Joann's. Can you believe there is a Joann's next door to Goodwill!! It is my own personal heaven. Anyway, I bought 4 pieces of felt for $1, and some fabric glue for $2. I cut out the eyes, ears, and nose, fabric glued them on and BAM my $10 version of this super cute costume!
I know I did not actually sew anything but hey, I think it counts!
P.S. this is one of the only times you will see a fashion shoot of me. I am SO not a model... don't judge.
P.P.S. My hubster did make a Hooters comment... I won't repeat it.

ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! GREAT job. The dress (which was cute to start) looks so good. We have a Joann's next to our Salvation Army. Goodwill is across the street. :) You can come link up with me on Thursday since this is a Pinterest project! :)
