I Did It!!

 I did it!  I went to Savers!  I spent $25 and got five things- three sweaters, a plaid button-down and a plain cotton long-sleeved Tshirt.  (side note:  Holiday traffic already!  The streets and stores were super crowded!  Horrible!! I hate, hate, hate going out to run errands around Christmas shopping time.)

This is what I got...

This is what I made...

It's from my "Things for TWNSDS" pinterest board!  Here's the website with the tutorial.  It didn't take me very long.  I used another dress of M's as a template, cut it out and sewed it together.  I made the pocket from scraps of another sweater I cut up.  Having a serger definitely cut down on project time, and made my seams nice and stretchy and clean without too much headache.  I did all the seams right the first time, too, and that definitely cut down on project time!

Bonus pics!  I haven't downloaded pictures off of my phone in a while, so I haven't gotten to share these crafty things...

The kids went as Darth Maul and an ewok for Halloween.  I made Darth's mask- including horns!  I made his cloak, too, but we ordered the lightsaber. I used an old lion costume for most of the ewok, and made the hood out of felt and the pouch from an old shirt.  She put her candy in the pouch- it was adorable.

I also re-arranged my bedroom and stenciled the wall...
