My New Smock Makes A Lovely Frock

April 9, 2008 by dailygnome 1 Comment

We stopped by our favorite resale shop over the weekend where I picked up a retro pillowcase and with a few quick snips converted it into a colorful painting smock for Carson. It ran a little long so I cut a strip off the bottom to make a cute headband for myself. I wrapped it in my hair but once Carson caught sight of it he wanted to accessorize too. So I cut another strip and tied it around his head. He spent a good ten minutes admiring himself in the mirror before starting his art project, then didn’t want to part with his new ensemble the remainder of the afternoon. It will most likely end up migrating into his dress up bin. Fortunately I picked up two pillowcases so I can make another smock – and this time I won’t cut the neck too wide. Because Mama isn’t quite crafty enough to thread a needle and fix it.
