A girl’s night out was fast approaching and of course the cupboard was bare. The thought of hitting the shops searching for a winter dress filled me with dread…..
Then I remembered a couple of meters of red corduroy that I had picked up from the op shop for $2. The plan had been to make the little guy some pants from it, but then when I realised how much fabric was there, I decided I could make a dress. That was months ago and I hadn’t been brave enough to start. With a time limit hanging over my head I just set to it.
Taa-Daa! One slightly modified pillow case dress, perfect for over a long sleeve shirt with boots and leggings! I’m proud as punch. The girls night was a hit and I don’t even have a hangover – success all round.
