Project Runway....

...only it was in a fabric store and with small children who are attending a sewing class and showing off their creations. And there were no super models or eliminations. Other than that....it was just like Project Runway! ;)

Each student got to walk down the runway 3 times, wearing three of the outfits that they had designed &/or made. Emma modeled her sundress, a pink & brown leopard print top, and Hawaiian shorts....all of which she made entirely on her own (ok, maybe not entirely....)!

The teacher also allowed Lauren to walk the runway....in the clothes that I had made for her. She modeled two different skirts and had a blast! (But I didn't get great pix of her. oops!)

It was such a cute little event and a special time for the kids to be applauded for their creativity! I love seeing Emma's face light up when people ooh and aah over the clothes she's made....and it makes her love doing it all the more! She came home this afternoon so excited and full of ideas for more sewing projects! Looks like we'll be back at F&M this week.....they really need to move that store closer to us! :)

Speaking of F&M.....I made a vintage reversible wrap skirt last night (thanks to Dren for the pattern info) and I love it! It was super-easy to make and turned out just like I had hoped. The only thing is, the denim is really heavy and the colors in the other fabric are not so "summery." Therefore, this will be my new Fall skirt! I can't wait to make a lighter-weight version later this week...
