What I did with a little imagination and 15 cents.
The old thrift store had this red sailboat remnant for 15 cents and it gave me an idea for a little sailor dress.
So I drew a sailor collar (it took a few attempts to get it right) and cut it out of white fabric. I put a snap to hold it together, and for the tie I sewed a narrow rectangle of white material and tied it in a knot, then sewed that on top.
I was so proud of myself!
I took Zeta to my blue bathroom and posed her on the shelf there for a photo shoot.

Be sure to visit Shelia at Note Songs, too. We are sewing for our dolls this summer and sharing here on
Wednesday Wee Ones.
Don’t forget to take time to

How cute! What a fun way to use your thrift store fabric. Thanks for sharing at VIParty.
Oh Miss Zeta is just darling in her little sailor dress. How clever of you to make the collar. I love how she poses so cute in her bare feet and fun dress, she is definitely ready the beach of a ride in a boat. I just had to take a minute this morning to see your post - now back to preparing the luncheon for friends. Enjoy your day - just love that dress.
So adorable! :)
