Making Skirts from Handkerchiefs!

I have been collecting handkerchiefs since I was a girl.  

Sure, I make the famous "handkerchief angel" Christmas ornaments and even "handkerchief bunnies" for Spring, but still…..I have a LOT of handkerchiefs…

I had always wanted to try a skirt, but thought it was kind of extravagant.

Finally I had to ask, "What am I saving them for?"  

It did take quite a few handkerchiefs and was rather time-consuming, but really kind of fun.  I made three, but this is my favorite.  Hope you like it!

Dancing Angels 2013

Ella and Emily

Although I didn't know how many dancers would sign up - or their ages or sizes - I began working on the costumes early this year!

It turns out that we have TEN dancing angels in the "Lessons and Carols" program at St. Patrick's and they are aged 6 - 11.  PERFECT!

Each dancer has two costumes - the first is a lace coat (for the "Advent" song....) and then for the brilliant "Angelic" entrance, they have a flouncy bouncy skirt, wings, haloes, feathers and ribbon wands.

Kaitlin is the choreographer and it is going to be just beautiful!

Halloween 1967

I am in pink.  My mom made the costume from pink dotted swiss and metallic silver rick rack.  

My BFF Gretchen is in white.  Her mom made her costume from ruffled organdy curtains.  You might think she is a bride, but she is actually "Ozma of Oz."  She had to correct MANY people on that night....

My brother Brad is a cowboy and Jeff is a "Native American."  Our neighbors, Lisa and Debbie, are front and center.  We lived in Plantation, Florida.  

Halloween Coats!

Sarah, Olivia, and Milli return to model Halloween coats!  Aren't they adorable?!?!?  

Thanks, Girls!
