Forest Friends Dress

Here in my new entry in the spoonflower fabric design contest.

Vote HERE. (psst. I'm Star Primm)

The theme is "Children's Clothing", and the assignment was to design a piece of children's apparel with pattern pieces and instructions all on one yard of fabric. I made a little dress that will fit 18 months - 3T, and it features my watercolor illustrations of some tiny forest friends. I made a prototype out of white muslin, and it fits my little Isabelle just perfectly. I am still waiting to receive my printed fabric, so once it arrives I will post photos of the finished dress.

Time for Lunch!

School has begun, and so has the taunting, ridicule, and such.

I have been made aware by my 4th grade daughter that disney princess lunch bags are no longer considered cool. That's not the main reason I replaced her lunch bag, after 3 years of use, it smelled strongly of moldy peanut butter and banana peels.

Here is last night's project, and it was all worth it when I heard my daughter's squeals of delight this morning. The pattern needs some fine tuning, but I like how it turned out, and she can fit enough lunch for an army inside!

Speaking of mold and taunting, I stumbled upon these lovely lunch bags.

I never had any problems with bullies trying to steal my lunch, but these sure would have come in handy when I had something so yummy I didn't want to share.
