After all my whining and complaining about sewing, I thought I’d share with you the results.
Ta-da!
Ignore the model, in her world camera = scowl! I made the skirt from a thrift-shop lambswool sweater that I felted. I used the same felted wool to applique the puppy on to an inexpensive white tee from Old Navy.
I didn’t use a pattern, but I did loosely follow the instructions for this skirt here: Oliver + S lazy daze skirt. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. As long as you don’t take a close look at the seams, it is quite presentable.
Here is one where she is actually smiling. Surprisingly enough, she actually quite liked the outfit. She was a wee bit miffed that I sewed the dog onto her shirt. I think she thought she was getting a stuffy. OOPS!
Any other ideas for the recycled wool? I’d love any links, tips and/or ideas.

Oh, this is SO CUTE!! You are very clever! Miss Georgia looks pretty happy in that second photo, and I’m glad she liked her new outfit. LOL at the stuffed toy comment – you may have to make a “matching” one, perhaps?

wow! that is AWESOME & i am 100% inspired. definitely going to steal that exact idea (ok..might not go so far as the puppy…we’ll see…). ;)
looking forward to ideas if anyone has felted wool suggestions. (i’ve heard of purses & cloth diaper covers/pants, but that’s all)
