Who said Halloween is scary?

Somebody wanted to be a "prairie girl" for Halloween.  Not your usual, but then I wouldn't expect her to be "usual".

All the dresses that we found on line were pretty chintzy looking, so Mimi headed to Joann's Fabrics.

The pattern was a McCall's, and though I expected to pay $11.50, all the McCall's patterns were on sale for 99 cents.
I needed fabric for the hat, and interfacing, but the peach fabric and the cream colored fabric for the dress and the pinafore were part of my bargain shopping in Maine a couple of weeks ago, so they cost under $3.00.
I scrounged the buttons in my button drawer.
So the total cost for this outfit was under $10.00.


The smile on her face:  priceless.   Of course.

 Excuse the messy laundry area.
And the bag of potatoes, since I just went to the grocery store.

 She came for a "fitting", and I only needed to hem it up a bit, otherwise it was a perfect fit.

Now before you say that I am a whiz, please, I have a confession.

It is a SLOPPY job.   I know how to sew.  I can sew.  

It isn't my passion.  So I cut corners, and do it fast, and it could really be a nicer job.

But SHE likes it, and that's all that matters.

Laura Ingalls, eat your heart out.
