DD's Pumpkin Outfit!

This DD's newest outfit I just finished. The under shirt with the big puffy sleeves is made from an old dress exactly like the dress that I cut up to make the napkins....only it was this burnt orange color. I LOVE how the sleeves turned out so puffy...thanks to my friend from church, Betty's help.
The two layers of ruffles came out so full on the bottom of the pants. I don't know why but I am just obsessed with ruffles!! Ruffles can never be to thick or to big or to full! But, they are a pain to put on. I am thinking I could probably get an outfit done in one day if I did not put an obsessive amount of ruffles on it...oh well I am much happier with the finished product when it has a ton of ruffles!











I am now addicted to blogs with little girly hairdo's....so I am sure this one is probably copied from one of them. I put the pumpkin buttons on a bobby pin and put them in her hair.












I put pumpkin and leaf buttons all over the outfit. There are 15 decorative buttons in total on this outfit.







DD loves the poofy sleeves just as much as I do because she actually makes me fluff them back up if they get smooshed down. I put a super think lining in them so they actually stay up pretty good.













DD also has a crocheted pumpkin purse that my mom made for her last fall....but, it is still at my mom's house. I forgot to pick it up when I was there yesterday.

Lazy Man's Pierogi

I add crumbled bacon or kielbasa sometimes or also drained rinsed sauerkraut. Pierogi take forever to make so this is quicker and fills up the crew. HTH

Wow, that is some dress. Great job. Are you sure you don't want to come and do my boys' Halloween costumes? I'm procrastinating on my own sewing duties.

Just wanted to thank you for playing along for the stickles blog candy!

Hi Pam,

Its me again. Ok, you probably think I'm crazy now, but honestly I'm not. I've been clicking link from link and I got here via Paula who did play along for blog candy. All I can say now is I'm just plain confused (lol). Thanks for understanding.
