At 3:00 yesterday, Munchkin informs me that “tonight is 50s night at Awana, Mom!” Oh, okay… So, my mind begins to scramble and try to think what we can do for 50s night. I go check my stash of fabric to see what I have available. I decide to make a poodle skirt.
I found some blue fabric and cut out a circle of fabric using pinking sheers. Then, I cut a center hole for the waist. I cut a strip of black fabric for a waistband. Then I find a poodle outline online and cut out a black poodle. I scrounge around in my sewing bench and find some black rick rack to make the leash. I decide to add a little button for the collar. 1 hour later, this is the poodle skirt look that we were able to achieve.
The girls were all dressed up for 50s night at Awana. They were giggling and laughing and having a good time. I was able to get them to stop for a minute to take a picture on the condition that I allowed them to do a funny shot after the real one.
These girls know how to have lots of fun. It’s always quite lively on the way to and from church!
Well that is about the cutest poodle skirt I have ever seen!!! You did a great job for short notice!! You are very talented!! Have a great evening!! Blessings from Georgia!!
Munchkin is happily wearing it again today. She’s decided that she really likes this style of skirt. lol!
I’m very impressed with your creativity. That skirt is adorable!!
Thanks. And my husband wonders why I never want to get rid of fabric. lol!
You made a poodle skirt in an hour??? I am in awe. It’s so cute, and Munchkin looks adorable!
Wow! I’m super impressed! You did a fantastic job!
Hi Heather!! That is just the cutest thing I hav ever seen…such talent!!! Munchkin is just a beautiful girl and looks so cute in her skirt, I loved the last picture with all of the girls dancing! Have a great night, God Bless!
I like the last picture as well. It reminds me again of how grateful I am for her Christian friends.
Im impressed its beautiful
did everyone only have 2 hours notice???
if thats so I would tell the group leaders that I wasnt impressed
if it was the fact that Munchkin had forgot to tell you then Id remind her how a bit more notice would be appreciated
either way Im in awe of you
I would have gotten in a flap and would have been growling at someone
We had a schedule posted on our board at home, and both Munchkin and I forgot that it was 50s week. We just had so much going on that we forgot what week it was. Our Awana leaders actually put together a schedule at the beginning of the year and gave it to the parents. They remind the kids the week before if there is something special going on the next week. When Munchkin went to pick up the other girls, they had forgotten as well, so they quickly threw something together. It was just one of those weeks.
I’m impressed – Munchkin’s skirt is beautiful! Well done!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Blessings,
Jillian ♥
