My daughter wants to have an Alice in Wonderland birthday party this year, and has been asking for me to make her a dress and apron. Well I got on the web to do a little research and look for some ideas, when I landed on Amy Karol's (Angry Chicken) Tie One On blog. She is having an Alice in Wonderland apron contest. I of course had to participate. I was going to be making one anyway, so I might as well, right?!
When I looked at the deadline, it said May 1st. I originally wasn't going to make this apron until July, but 24 hrs works too! So, I stayed up all night and frogged my way through an Alice apron. I made it out of a king size eyelet pillowcase and pink bias tape. I had to use the seam ripper more than I cared for but overall it turned out OK.
There is a funny ending to this story though. When I went to send my pictures to Amy, I had to go back to the Tie One On website to get her email address. The first thing I saw when the page opened, was that the contest had been extended to June 1st! I laughed so hard! So much for staying up all night! It was my own stupid fault for not checking the main blog page for updates. I only read the page I landed on in my search which said May 1st.
So, for once in my life, I am a month early in entering a contest! Whoo hoo!
Now I can procrastinate on finishing the matching dress! =)

It's cute! And your daughter seems to like it from the picture.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad about the staying up all night though, it sounds like something that might happen to me.
Thanks Thea! She did like it a lot. She had to wear it to her soccer game...this time without the mustache! =)
