After making Miss Ava her tutu this summer her sister decided to be a 50's girl for Halloween this year & has asked for a flouncy slip to make her skirt poofy. This what I came up with & it was hard to figure this out & even harder to get a straight line cut out. I got the elastic curled around & I couldn't get it to go right & then I thought I got it right but now I can see I did not sigh.......it will have to do since it has gone home with cousin this morning. I am glad that I only had to do one lol

I got a call & an email with a photo of my grand wearing her new slip lol I can not show you as that is all she is wearing lol what a character & she loves it. I stressed for nothing

That's because Grammie made it. Hope that isn't all she's wearing on Halloween! LOL

she was so excited she couldn't wait to try it on lol that says enough to let me know she is really happy with it lol

That is great Loralye! You did a very nice job!
Remember can cans? They used to be available everywhere, back in my old days, now little girls just don't dress like we used to....... I had made a cinderella dress for my oldest gd about 10 years ago and had to make one to make it pouf out. It was for a wedding as a flower girl dress. I'll have to scan that someday for you guys.

me too lol thanks Mary!~hugs~

Stop being so hard on yourself! It's a Halloween underskirt, she will be thrilled and you should be proud of another accomplishment. Nothing is ever perfect in this world an isn't meant to be. As long as the little one is a happy camper, give yourself a pat on the back and go for the next challenge! I think you need to make a list on paper for you to read daily of all the wonderful things you are now able to do and add to that list everyday. You go girl! :-)
