dress to skirt

I bought this dress on clearance at Target yesterday. I love the bottom but not a fan at all of the top part of the dress. So with a little cutting and sewing, a skirt.

$20 is my all my allowenc for the week so I really debated if the dress was worth it. But I like the black and white stripes and the fabric is soft and flows nicely, I went for it.

Making Monsters

My Two monsters and YES I made them both. But I'm only going to show you how to make one of them.

I started with a monster picture Matt drew.

Them I made a pattern on card stock.

I cut 2 body pieces out of fleece, the eye's and teeth I cut out of felt.

I used embroidery thread to sew the eyes, teeth and mouth on.

Next I Placed the two body piece right sides together and stitch them closed, Leaving a opening to turn out and stuff. / turn out

fill with fluff and whip stitch close. / from concept to creation.

Matt loves his monster creation. It is extra special to him because he made it. I am working on monsters for the rest of the kids but I don't think any of them will love the dolls like Matt loves his. Matt told me it was the best monster ever. I told him It takes one to know one.
