Val's Fourth of July Dress

The GOOD NEWS is that Valerie has been approved for 20 days of nursing home "care". yippee kayee...

And, hey, come to think about it -- there is NO BAD NEWS. Val has a great attitude, and she is appreciative of the help.

I got back from Reno on July 2, and decided I would make a "Fourth of July" nursing home dress for Valerie.

Remember -- my "STASH" of t-shirts. This is gonna be fun...

I started off with a sleeveless red/white & blue striped t-shirt. I used the top of it -- but then cut the rest in strips to make the SKIRT.

Here's Val -- with the dress laying on top of her. Can you see the best feature? The middle section of the skirt is another t-shirt with one of the 7 Dwarfs. It says,

"I'm right. You're Wrong. Any questions?"

Then, I added the blue star pockets...and a white piece at the bottom, to make it the right length.

PERFECT. And Val was the HIT OF THE HOME on July 4th...
