Supplies:

- Clipboard
- 1 sheet of printer paper
- 1 sheet of thicker paper, appropriate for card making
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Black pen
- Red pen

Bulky Dress to Cute Summer Outfit





   Besides having no shape, this dress was also very long: it hung down to my ankles! It was basically a tube with arm holes and a zipper.

How to Make a Cape



   One of my many childhood dreams was to gallop across an open field on a horse with a cape flowing from my shoulders. With the help of Pinterest, part of that dream came true. 


Supplies:
- About 2 yards of fabric
- Scissors
- Thread
- Thin cord
- A button
- Needle
- Chalk
- Sewing machine

Difficulty level: medium


   A cape is is basically a large circle skirt cut in half. Take your fabric and fold it in half. Measure 6" from the top left corner, where the fabric was folded over, and carefully trace a half-circle with your chalk. That will be the neck part of the cape. Then measure 40" from the edge of the neck and draw another half circle.
