$5 Mayan Princess Outfit

Our neighborhood has lots of children and when halloween is on a weeknight it really becomes a street party with parents and kids in costumes out trick or treating.  Our usual tradition is to put on costumes and hand out candy until we run out and then walk the streets with the neighbors enjoying the kids having fun, seeing the decorations, etc.  This year, I saw a Mayan Queen outfit that I loved, however, the $140 price tag, not so much.  SO this is my version--fabric leftovers, royal blue from high school days, an old ivory upholstery chair covering, thrift store red shirt  and a crown made from feathers and fabrics and heavy interfacing, misc. beads and stuff from my sewing and art supplies.  I did buy the gold fabric and stitched the wrap. 

From drawings to Fabric

one of my goals for the past summer was to make fabric from Spoonflower using some of my art drawings/paintings.  I got the fabric this week--I love it!  Was a bit of a challenge to get the art photgraphed and then edited into the design that I wanted for the fabric.  I plan to make an apron out of half and then not sure about the other half.  And of course, the Dancing Girl muse dances all over on the fabric!
