From Gift Bag to Festive Pillow

Hi!

Back after some weeks away from here, I have been too busy, sorry my readers:(

Perfect to match my woodland mantle theme!

Hi!

Thanks so much to the Dedicated House for featuring Sofia's Doll Dress!!!

5-min Doll Dress from Sweater Sleeve

Hi!

This one is an awesome idea and I can't take credit for it..it was all my creative girl's idea, and execution!

So proud of my 9 year old..my young crafter!

I recycle  old wool sweater into hats ( to be posted) and one day she asked me for one sleeve. 

I gave her and she came up with this:

...drum roll....

A beautiful and thrifty dress for her Kit Kitridge AG!

Fold sleeve in half

Cut the little tiny holes

Can you see?hehe

She also crafted a snazzy belt:)

In 5 min a new dress....So, so , soooooo cool!!!
