I'll send an email to my mom and get back to you. It probably won't be until tomorrow, but I know that she bought several yards and she's normally a bargain shopper, so I would guess that it was a decent price.
I am officially hooked! I made my first boutique bows tonight and they look AWESOME!!!! Now if I could just learn to applique!
and they looked awful. either I have no patience or I'm just not crafty 
. I can sew a button on and that is about it. I will have to buy any custom items for my kids.
so that's good. And I can't believe how many pages have been posted since I posted that!!!!here is my first attempt at a dress.
here is my first attempt at a dress.
Hi Girls--
I wanted to comment on this real quick and then I'll stand down.
First of all, I saw the auction everyone was talking about....not because I went "in search" of it, but I stumbled across it and remembered it because of the "grossness" of the photo. Yes, seeing snot run out of a child's nose in a photo where the outfit is for sale is gross to me.
Obviously, I'm not the only one who thinks it's gross. Look at Ebay, girls. Look at the outfits that go for $200, $300, $400....do they have pictures of their daugthers with messy hair and boogers hanging on their face? NO. That's what sells and, as "mean" as it sounds, it's true.
There's one seller I can think of in particular right now that asks a fortune for her outfits and, 9 times out of 10, gets that small fortune. Are her outfits cute? Sometimes, but even the ugly ones sell. Why? Because her daughter is the cutest little girl and has adorable poses. Her hair is always done nicely and she looks cute.
Just a thought....
I used mine for a skirt and it was cute. Are you close enough to the store to get any?
It's not the greatest picture, but here's a picture of the dress that my mom made for the girls out of that purple princess toile. She put a purple collar and purple band at the bottom.
I want to see pictures of your bows. I tried making bows yesterday
Okay ladies, here is the next item in my Knock-Off Boutique.The original was posted by obsessedwiththemouse. I have to give a big thanks to everyone for sharing their ideas and pictures. I'm not very good at coming up with my own designs but that is my next challenge. I plan to brainstorm tomorrow while I tackle that 12 hour shift.
The Minnie ears look a little warped in the picture but that's just how the dress is hanging. I wish I could post pics of DD in the outfit but I've promised DH I would not post pics of the kids anymore.
