Howdie y'all...
A few years back, a co-worker of my hubby's invited us to her birthday party. It would be a 50's themed event and we had to dress the part. Well, the hubby's outfit was pretty easy, he opted for the Fonz look with jeans & a leather jacket. My outfit took a little more work. I wanted a poodle skirt and searched the resale shops & yard sales but had no luck in finding anything. Well, I love to sew and decided I had to make my own outfit. I found a pattern but coming up with a fabric I liked took some doing. I kept thinking of Rizzo's sexy red number with the black polka dots...from Grease! I just had to have red with black dots!!! Couldn't find it anywhere!!! Luckily, I had some sheets that no one was using at the time...you got it...red with black polka dots!...so I used them. Now, that might sound strange to some, but if there are any seamstresses here, y'all know what a friend we have in sheets!
So anyway, long story short...I made the skirt...but there's no way I was putting a poodle on it!!!!
Hehehe...what's even cuter is that on the other side of the skirt there is a little black mousie!
Happy Friday everyone...
