The skirt was from my fourteen year old sister's Minnie Mouse Halloween costume and the top is made from the left over scraps. I chose to do this outfit because one day I was at my neighbor's house playing Calico Critters when I was inspired by one of the Calico Critter's outfits. The next morning I slid the skirt on to the mannequin and wrapped the fabric around the top part of the mannequin and pinned it in the back. Then, I got bias tape for the strap and a big green button and sewed the button to one end of the strap with silver thread. Then I sewed up the sides to make it tighter. Last of all I tucked it in to the skirt!
I'm a ten year old who has always liked to draw. Lately I've been drawing outfits. My mom has been teaching me how to sew, and I'm excited to make them in real life.

My New Workspace
This weekend my mom cleared out our closet that is under the stairs. Next my dad moved a table into the closet for our sewing machine and my new mannequin next to it. Now I can design before and after school and still be close to my family downstairs. If I make a mess we can just close the door. And on the blank wall I can pin up pictures for inspiration.
