Candy Corn Dress: Le Challenge

I know its been a while.
I have been doing some sewing, just not keeping record of it here.
Lucky Molly has been the recipient of almost all the handmade goodness.

For Halloween she was Minnie Mouse.
I made her dress, but that is saved for another post.
I did not want her to wear her Minnie Mouse dress to daycare,
and risk it getting pooped or thrown up on.
So plan B came into action.

I saw this pillowcase Candy Corn Dress on pinterest.
Its originally from the etsy shop daintee Designs.
She has some incredibly cute stuff.
But I thought I could probably make something similar.
So here it is, not nearly as perfect,
but good enough for daycare Halloween dress up.


Its hard to get good pictures of her these days.
She does not stay still very long. 

I also have some cruddy phone pictures. 
She happened to be discovering the TP roll at the same time.
(This is how she stays entertained while I get ready in the morning.
ALWAYS ON THE MOVE!!!)

One thing I have been seeing happening at Charm About You is this fun Le Challenge

Le Challenge

Since my Candy Corn Dress fit PERFECTLY in to the STRIPES category this month,
I am going to enter it.
People are VERY creative over there.

I hope your holidays are off to a great start.
This will be a whole new experiance for me with having a 9 month old to tote around everywhere.

P.S. - Just a shout out for fun:
I have been listening to Amy and April on a quilting podcast they do. the QuiltCast.
If you like quilting and like listening in on the professionals, you should check it out.
What I love most is that they do not have all the high tech stuff.
And they do care how much thread costs!
JUST. LIKE. ME.
Sometimes I think we hold these "professionals" to a different standard.
But at the end of the day, they are just like the rest of us.
Love it!

  1. Hello fellow MN resident! Stopping by from Kelly's Korner to say "hello"! We live in West Central MN (2 hours west of the Twin Cities, about an hour SW of St Cloud). I'm jealous of your sewing abilities--I made new Christmas stockings this last weekend and thought I'd pull my hair out trying to read the pattern (and trust me. It was nothing fancy!)! I've been a slacker with my blog recently, but feel free to stop by if you'd like. Have a great weekend!
