Poodle Skirt

Last weekend I went to a 50s themed Entertaining at Home party (For those wanting more information about Entertaining at Home, please click the link in the lower left column of the blog). I already had a poodle skirt, my mom had made it many years ago for me, but my daughter did not have one. And what are the odds of a seamstress having extra fabric and ribbons lying around? ^-^ Very high apparently, because this is what became of some of my stash...**I made the bow on the headband as well. I didn't like it at first (was my first time making a hair-bow like so), but it's grown on me. ^-^**

Here is a close up of the poodle. It is an applique patch made from scratch. Took about an hour to sew (it was my first time trying this out; turned out pretty cute if you ask me).
