dress project #1

i made piper a dress the other day. out of an old tie-dyed t-shirt i found in a bag of clothes to go to goodwill. i got the idea from my friend Jana who got it from here and it turned out pretty cute! it will be great for summertime!
this was the best picture i could get of her. she was in crazy-person mode after her bath.
my mom distracting piper so i can take a picture.
the back
since piper wouldn't pose, i used her picture instead.
close-up.
my mom helped me sew the dress (which was actually really simple and i could have done it. seriously) while i sewed the flower ruffle things. they took a long time.
so the next day, i made another dress using a different method for the flowers. and it turned out really cute. i haven't tried it on piper yet, but when i do, i'll take a picture of it for another blog!
i did a lot of crafty projects this past week.

Good Job!!! What a fun dress! I can't believe how BIG Piper is getting! So grown up! My favorite picture is the one with Piper's framed picture as the head! it made us both laugh :)
