I was sorting through some old clothes and found a tank top that I never wear. It was a little too girlie/juvenile for me, but I thought it would be just adorable on Penny. I did a couple of quick alterations using a dress of hers as a rough guideline, and voila! Adorable girlie skull toddler dress. Penny thinks it's a "woof-woof", and I decided not to try to explain what a girlie skull is. It looks sort of tie-dyed in some of these pictures, but it's just the sunlight–it's solid blue.
Seriously, is there anything cuter than a girlie skull? I am sort of obsessed. Remember
this post from last summer? I also recently bought 2 yards of this fabric, and I am itching for the right project. I want it to be something that I will use often and for a long time. Any ideas?
Is there anything in your closet that you don't wear anymore? Think about how you might re-purpose it into something more useful or attractive. Otherwise, donate it! There's nothing like overstuffed closets and cluttered drawers to drag us down. Of course, then we have to resist the urge to go out and buy more...
It's perfect! :) Love that bow! That's not the first time you've bedecked a skullie with a bow, if I remember correctly!
ReplyDeleteI did a huuuuuuge closet clean-out when I was pregnant with Arlo (nesting at its most productive, haha), and then I ended up doing a second one when he was about 8 months old because I'd lost quite a bit of weight BFing. (Like you, I have had some trouble keeping on weight while nursing and actually now weigh nearly 20lbs less than I did before I got pregnant with Arlo...which seems completely crazy.)
As for your sugar skull fabric...what about an apron? Or some cloth napkins?
Def make some throw pillows for Penny's bed!
