I really love sewing along with Project Run and Play and their new season starts Monday. This season is going to be different than the others and I am so excited about it!
The first weeks theme is "Inspired by Art". I had a few ideas floating around and then I remembered doing "Picasso Paintings" in school and how much fun that was and I loved the idea of getting the kids involved.
Here is one of Picasso's paintings:
Now, I have to admit, with the time frame and everything in life being crazy, I cheated and instead of having the kids draw their own face like I originally planned, I grabbed this picture off-line and let Aevarie cut it out.
I used Heidi & Finns "Playday Dress" as my starting point. Just cause that dress screams comfy and fun.
Aevarie loves it and thinks this dress is hilarious.
She wore it to school the next day and was so excited to show everyone her funny person. When she got in the car after school she told me that the kids just told her the dress was weird and that none of them thought it was funny. Our school could do with some "culture". lol
I'm glad to say that hasn't stopped her from loving it!
So, that is our "Picasso" Dress. :D
I'm so excited to see what everyone else comes up with for this weeks challenge!
You're done so quickly! This is adorable. And looks so comfy. I love that she didn't care that no one else thought it was funny. :)
ReplyDeleteLol. I feel like I'm lagging behind! I'm really glad she loves it too. I'm hoping I can teach her to have that self-esteem and not care what other people think. :D
DeleteThat is seriously impressive!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We had a lot of fun making it. :D
Deleteso fun that you did Picasso! it looks comfy, you are good at sewing with knits (I'm not very good at it at all)
ReplyDeleteThanks! All of the pieces have interfacing and that helped a ton!
DeleteI love Picasso! And I love that your daughter loves her dress no matter what! =D
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou were really inspired by art!!! I bet your daughter will always remember her Picasso dress...even when she sees a Picasso painting when she's in her 20's.

Thank you! And yes, I think so. So far she has grabbed it every time it comes out of the washer and wears and immediately puts it on. :D
Deletelol typing and putting kids to bed don't mix! I meant she immediately puts it on when it comes out of the dryer, although I wouldn't doubt the fact that she would still wear it soaking wet! :D
DeleteThis is fantastic! I love the funny person, and I love that your daughter wears it so proudly! Great job!

ReplyDeleteI love the style of dress too!

Thank you! She is bit of a ham, so I think the styling fits her personality really well! :D
DeleteLooks awesome! I am glad that she still likes the dress even though other kids don't. Love independent minded girls!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too! That's one of the biggest things I'm hoping to teach my children. To be themselves no matter what the world thinks. :D
DeleteThis is fantastic well done! Your daughter looks fab in it too :)
