Sunday

Most of you may not know this, but our sweet Piper has an obsession with babies, particularly dark-skinned babies. She loves babies in general, but when she sees a dark-skinned baby or kid she is just taken with them. Another thing most of you may not know is that I love a good deal. I shop a season ahead for my kids' clothes. I love adding up what I spent and how much I saved. Silly, but it's true. So what does that have to do with this post, you ask?? Well, it is a good deal for Piper! I got this doll for Piper at one of my favorite stores Land of Nod. I got some amazing deals that day and this was one of them. I thought this doll would be perfect for Piper's birthday. She has a kitty that is from Land of Nod that she sleeps with. What I love about this type of doll is that you can throw it in the wash. Yesterday, I spent the entire day cleaning our bedroom (if that tells you how messy it was). I came across this doll and decided to make some clothes for her. So I went to my stash of fabrics and favorite old clothing for recycling. Here you go:

Meet Sunday. She may end up staying in her bloomers (that is how Piper is most of the day).


A old shirt of Piper's from last summer that I pulled out this season. It did not fit, I decided to recycle it.


With a little hemming here and a little hemming there, I made a dress for Sunday.


What do you do with strips of purple gingham fabric??


You make a purple dress for Sunday!

So there you go, one of Piper's birthday presents and it is only March! (Her bday is in June)
