Caroline is playing Mrs. Petersen in her elementary school production of Bye Bye Birdy<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Thought this one is going to be easy. Thrift store for a dress and coat and done. She is small so there is usually a lot to choose from.<\/p>\n

Guess what, all three thrift stores in my area are either closed or closed for renovation. <\/p>\n

So I go around to a lot of the local clothing shops trying to find something that she can use. <\/p>\n

Well it\u2019s summer and there is nothing that doesn\u2019t look wrong.<\/p>\n

So off to the fabric store I go and find the perfect leopard print for the coat and a very odd blue green cloth for the dress. Pick up some simple patterns in Caroline\u2019s size and 8 hours later she has her costume.<\/p>\n

I present to you Mrs. Petersen<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>
\n(For the VI: This is Caroline wearing a leopard print coat with a blue dress underneath. She has an expression on her face like she is yelling. Her brown hair is down and flowing behind her head.)<\/p>\n

With a few more photos under the cut<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>
\nFront of the Blue Dress. The instruction was to have it in muted tones, no print, and frumpy.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>
\nBack of the Blue Dress with the bow<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>
\nThe leopard print coat<\/p>\n

It was fun to do. And I think she looks nice in it for the role.<\/p>\n

I am grateful that my Mother taught me how to use a sewing machine and gave me my first one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
