New Dress & Giveaway!

Today I have all 3 kids home, no school for Princess because of teacher in-service. So we thought we would go shopping and have a fun day. Change of plans. While monkey was taking a nap, Bubba decided to cover me and him in throw up. As a result we are grounded. We get to stay home and try to keep everything clean. I hate watching babies when they are sick. I feel so useless.

I decided that I needed a new dress. It's so hard to find nice clothes on a tight budget. So I decided to make one. So easy! I went and bought, on sale 50%off of course, 2 yards of Jersey knit. I too the 2 yards and folded it in half on the short end. This way I had a 1 yard by 60in piece. I turned it right sides facing and sewed the two long sides and one short side. Yes I sewed down the fold. I then found the center of the short side that is sewn and cut down about 6 in., this in the neck hole. Then I cut out 2 slits down each side at the top to make arm holes. I made them about 8 in long. I then washed it before trimming the end up to length. I then slipped it on and threw a belt around the waist to give it shape and I had a dress. All in all it took me 20 min plus wash and dry time.
