If you’re like me at some point this week you’ll go, “Oh crap! St Patrick’s Day is this week, what’s my kid going to wear to school?” I’m still new to this whole preschool thing but I’m starting to pick up on the fact that if you’re kid is in school on a holiday they WILL have a party & I just can’t send Samster to a party without the appropriate attire now can I?
I whipped this little quickie up during Soph’s morning nap today. Which mind you was only 40 minutes long. Also everything you need you’ll find in a quick Target run, maybe even lurking around your house…
The pattern is the Sienna Dress & was made using a Target holiday t-shirt along with some other tshirts in my stash. (tip- I made sure I used the already finished tshirt hem so I wouldn’t have to to hem the skirt or sleeves) Also I kept St Patrick’s Day fabric minimal b/c I’d like for her to wear this again. Mama doesn’t take the time to sew a dress for one time wear.

The legwarmers are done with this tutorial & a pair of socks I had in my drawer although yes, they do look like I snatched them off a leprechaun. The final touch is a little green flower in the dollar bin with an alligator clip hot glued to the back. You could also use a silk flower & my Big Bloom Baby Headband tutorial.
And just for fun…
Hehe.

Wow, nice job! In just 40 minutes?! I am really envying that right now. 🙂
LOVE IT! So cute. I would never guess how quickly you whipped that out. The color combo is not one I'd go to put together myself, but i love it! Time to start thinking outside the box!
I can never find alligator clips at Target!! 🙁 Is there some mommy secret I don't know?
You know what I do? I buy a big box of them at the beauty supply store for about $5, it's lasted me forever!
super cute! love the knee highs!!!
Okay I really want to know how you organize your craft stuff, the little stuff the big stuff and the bling stuff…please help me, because I just end up with a mess. I know you have some magical way. And how do you make dresses in 40 minutes? When my "little" goes down for a nap I'm nearly collapsing myself! Wish I could follow you on facebook too 🙂
