One of my 101 things to do in 1001 days is to sew a dress, and Rhoda says my halloween costume counts.
While we were in California, I decided to do something I have never done… I bought a pair of sequins mouse ears. “I guess I’ll be Minnie Mouse for Halloween,” I told my  mom to justify the $20 purchase.
As soon as I got home, the hunt for a red and white polka dot dress (at a thrift store, obviously) began. I couldn’t find anything so I decided I’d make a red tulle skirt. Then I found a red dress I figured I could add white spots to. And THEN I found this skirt. (So yes, I do have a bunch of red ribbon and tulle, plus a red dress… that I don’t know what to do with now.)
Just what I needed, right!? Then came the scary part.
See, I’ve only used a sewing machine in the sewing courses Melbourne. They made An Introductory Guide to Needlepoint for beginners.
A couple snips and sews later and I had my Minnie Mouse dress.
Sew a dress – DONE.
(Speaking of DONE… I just plowed through my morning to-do list in 20 minutes. Patting myself on the back as I type this.)
and some Halloween thoughts from Sue Sylvester via the daily Glee calendar (which I have kept up with ALL YEAR LONG, even at camp!)
(what’s up with the parentheses? gosh)
