Wild Wild West Day!

Howdy!!! Last Thursday Owyn got to dress up for her Wild West Theme day at her school and Xavier decided he wanted to dress up for pictures with Owyn before heading out to school.  When the newsletter came home about dressing up like a cowboy/girl or farmer I was like we only have some boots so I searched the internet and came across a super cute John Deere dress on Esty and then saw the price tag of 55 bucks and was like I could sew that I just need to find the material.  Well thankfully our local fabric store had the same fabric except the trim so I picked out some that matched the JD fabric and went to crafting up this dress.  I am pretty amazed at how well it turned out...the only issue is on the back were the straps crossed I need to figure out a better way next time to sew to keep the thread lines more hidden but this cute little dress cost me a less then 5 dollars and about 4 hours start to finish with the sewing.  Owyn was super happy about her dress.  So getting dress was a breeze compared to the mornings before.  She let me do pigtails with flower clips and then insisted that she need the head band too and you see how she likes to wear it. and then she wore her pink John Deere boots.
