The Tooth Fairy Pillow

My baby girl tapped me on the leg "Momma! I have a looth tuufff!"  she said as she had her hand in her mouth wiggling a bottom incisor. My first thought was...
 "I need to make you a tooth pillow!"

I had a tooth pillow as a child, and I remembered it being a fun experience. When I was five, I really believed I saw the tooth fairy leave my room with sparkles trailing behind her.

Good timing too, because two days later she had 2 more loose teeth! Apples are going to be a problem for a while.

I have had this vest for quite a long time. I never wear it. 
This will do just fine to make
 a wonderful and shiny tooth pillow.
Nice vest. Better tooth pillow.

I took my pinking roller to it, and cut out the side with the zipper pocket. 
But, I realized I didn't get close enough to the front zipper to create a big enough pocket.
 Good thing there was another side.

After that small mishap I turned the rectangle inside out, and sewed up 3 of the 4 sides.


The vest had batting already on the inside, so stuffing it was not necessary. SCORE!!


I flipped the new tooth pillow right side out.
Look it has a built in zipper! Yay! 

I hand stitched the open side closed with an invisible zig zag stitch.


It's not perfect, but I think the tooth fairy will love it!!!


See you next time!

Graduation Gown not just for Graduates Anymore

This discarded, and loved-no-more graduation gown was calling to me from the thrift store rack. It was perfect for this time of year when teachers say goodbye tearfully to some, and not-so-tearfully to others.  But we love them all anyway.  Heeeeey!  Over here!  Buy me and give me a new life!! So I did. Sally liked the dress much better once I picked off those sleeves! She thought it was a perfect resting spot. I chopped the bottom a bit, folded it twice because it was fray-fray-central, and I hemmed it all up.  I could use the chopped off bottom piece as a belt  or use an existing one.  Choices.... The dress is all white so this time, I decided to go with a darker brown belt,  and some metallic sandals. Congrats and good luck  to all the 2015 graduates!  I'm ready for the ceremony! See you next time!

Dia de Los Muer-nksgiving!

Look at this awesome fabric! Check out the website where I bought it  HERE  It's just perfect for a Dia De Los Muertos dress! It's going to be perfect! I'm so glad I bought it in August, so I will have plenty of time to create and wear it before Halloween!  (Can you hear the sarcasm) .....time just slipped away.......  I was still going to make the fabric into dress, because I just loved it so!!!!   I decided to buy a pattern. A real pattern online!  A printable file that I had to put together, and decipher all by myself!  I put my mind to it and decided to go for it! I found one that I liked on www.burdastyle.com  You can check it out  HERE I originally wanted to make it with long sleeves,  but I didn't have enough fabric. Shorties will have to do! I kept putting it on and taking  it off to try to get the best fit. This was a long process. Too big in the shoulders, too long in the torso, a...

Red Romper Red Romper

My beautiful daughter took this picture of this less than beautiful dress. I thrifted it for a few dollars a long while back. I picked apart the skirt andplaced a pants pattern in its place. Picked off the sleeves and cuffs. Whole lotta sleeves! Extra fabric to make a sash belt. I found the center of the cuffs and pinned it for reference. You will see what I do with them! Bias tape around the sleeves and attached the cuffs. Check out the sleeves! Its actually the cuffs! I love my new romper! See you next time!
