What a fun crafty month, it has been!\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve certainly been spending more time this month than in the past year glue-gunning, modge-podging and sewing my little heart out. And all for a specific little project. A certain little someone’s innocent Halloween costume request.<\/p>\n

“Mama, I am going to be an orange princess for Halloween!” the Peach declared one day.<\/p>\n

Hmmm… Not pink (which would have been easy..to buy, that is) but orange. Her favorite color. Hoo boy.<\/p>\n

OK.<\/p>\n

I first ran to Beverly’s the closest craft\/fabric store I could get to and lo and behold orange satiny fabric was on sale–$4.00 a yard. HUZZAH! I snatch up four yards and some other stuff along with this pattern.\u00c2\u00a0 It has easy on the the pattern envelope and I’ve owned a sewing machine for thirty years. how hard could it be?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It turns out pretty hard.\u00c2\u00a0 Like stab a seam ripper in my eye hard at times.<\/p>\n

Well, not necessarily hard, but time consuming, filled with little steps and the fabric was a total nightmare. Hard to press, and if you look at it wrong, it will freak out on you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But once I got into sewing it, I began to slowly fall back in love with sewing.\u00c2\u00a0 And I let my craft flag fly! I even turned a bachelorette crown topped with wee gentlemen parts into a sassy orange glittery rhinestone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, how did the final dress turn out?\u00c2\u00a0 Well, someone really likes it! And that is the most important thing. I tried to sparkle it up with more lace and lacing. And wee bit of pink.\u00c2\u00a0 The Peach gasped with happiness when she saw herself in the mirror. Twelve hours and $50 worth of fabric and ribbon and netting netted the happiest little orange princess around.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just don’t look too close at the hem. That’s all I ask…<\/p>\n

How was your crafty month? What are you working on right now?<\/p>\n
