One of the current obsessions at our place is Space. We have a variety of balls lined up on the lawn representing the planets; bath time is an endless list of questions about stars, orbits, suns, planets, moons, and atmospheres; NASA you-tube videos are on our watchlist; and somehow I find myself discussing atoms with my Littlies on the way to school. Oh my - my head hurts! The silver lining to this (quite literally) is inspiration for a Little Person sewing project. And it fits perfectly with this week's theme for Project Run and Play - create something fabulous from denim.
So, this week I have made a cute denim and poplin Star Gazer dress with a twinkling exposed zip. For the matching purse I used a sparkly denim, lined it with silver and iron-appliqued some stars on the front. And I must say, the whole outfit has been a hit. My Little One hasn't taken it off (with the exception of a swim and a bath) since I gave it to her yesterday. I even found her sleeping in it when I checked on her before I went to bed last night!
I designed the purse to be easy enough to be made by a Little Person, but we ran out of Little People sewing time this weekend - so I whipped it up myself. But I'll post a tutorial soon on how to make your own Star Gazing Purse.
