When I was a little girl I would wrap myself up in curtains and sheets trying to look like a glamorous movie star or an ethereal being. I even wrapped Barbie up in paper bags and tissues! Yes, I LOVE Barbie! I created so many fashionable outfits for her out of found materials. She even lived in a very posh cardboard box furnished with colorful Avon boxes.
And speaking of wrapping myself up in sheets and curtains, I have always been disappointed that I've never been invited to a toga party - I want to wear my fashionably draped sheet in public! But that touches on something else - my love of costumes! Let's not go there now....
A few years ago, I made a dress out of 4 bandannas, and one for a belt! I was a little bit smaller then, but, it was really cute and sexy! And so easy to make. I sewed two bandannas together for the front and than two together for the back, sewed up the shoulders, leaving a hole for the neck, it was a boat-neck. Then I sewed up the sides, leaving holes for the arms. No need to hem. Belt it with a different color bandanna and it's done! Quick, cool and easy! Maybe it would take six or eight bandannas now... but still cute and cheap!
I made this skirt out of an embroidered tablecloth. I love this! It was only $3.00. I like to wear this with boots. I always feel like an exotic gypsy when I wear this!
