Too Cute

I almost titled this "twins" but I was afraid it would give everyone the wrong idea .


My daughter has been wanting an outfit to match her doll 'Kirsten". This is what we came up with:



Aren't they cute?


Now for those of you who are cheapskates, oh, um...I mean frugally minded like me, here is the fun part.


I bought the fabric for the dress for--can you guess?-- $1 a yard . I bought 5 yards plus 4 packages of bias tape. The fabric for the bonnet and the apron I had in my stash. I already had the ribbon trim too. Sooooo, the entire outfit, including bloomers



 


cost less than $10. Can we all say "Amen"? It is good to be cheap I mean frugal.


Blessings.

  1. I love it!! How CUTE!! I wish K wanted Kirsten. She's got Elizabeth & Samantha and now she's wanting Felicity. We refuse to spring for it, so she's been saving her own $. Kirsten's my favorite, though. Your "twins" are adorable!!
