One project down

This is my 1st article of clothing ever. Things learned: A pattern instead of google images of the real dress probably would have been helpful. Sewing is for patient people. I am not. Seam ripping is a waste of my life but a necessary evil. Sewing my own costume sure beats paying $20 for a cheap looking thing.

Not bad for a Sunday night's work right?
Did you already guess who she was going to be?

Wizard of Oz was the answer to Halloween this year for a number of reasons. 1. We're not sure how long we'll get away with a "theme". 2. Hannah would never wear a real costume. The shoes are the best part of the Dorothy costume and Hannah LOVEs shoes. 3. Ashton gets to be the Lion (we're borrowing that from a friend). So this year for Halloween our only purchases were $3.99 for a yard of fabric and $.99 for some buttons. And I guess we better count our splurge of the ruby red slippers from Target for $12.99. But we're going to get our moneys worth out of them Hannah has worn them every day since we got them and I'll probably let her wear them all through the Christmas season.
