While trying to think of a blog post title for this entry, the Beastie Boys ’she’s crafty’ song popped into my head. So I started singing along and quickly realized that they aren’t talking about the sewing crafty type. Ha!
I have been wanting to make a halter dress for Makena since it’s summer. Of course, I had no pattern. Just a vintage pillowcase with embroidery that I’ve been saving for just the right project. And I love white dresses in the summertime.
She’s a string bean that’s for sure. So after several adjustments to the elastic to keep it on her little body, I think I’ve got just the right fit. I also took pictures along the way in hopes of whipping up a tutorial for you.
Today we are going to a two year old birthday party and the theme is butterflies. The girls are supposed to wear wings and the boys capes. Good thing I made Keegan a cape for Christmas and already had one ready to go. The wings I got at Target (of course).
And for the birthday girl, I made her a tutu using this tutorial. Belly button not included. Easy peasy.
