Organza, netting,some white Christmas lights and working with less than $200 helped me add some bright colors to dress up a Parish Center for our annual dinner auction. I got the idea from making a dress last year that had a little puff of a flower for a belt. The flower was very easy to make and was actually very cute. So, a pattern for a flower belt was used to dress up a structural column, who would have thunk. I was able to save the flowers from going into the trash, which is a good thing because Stella has been asking me to make her dress out of them since me and my mom started sewing them (yes, I said mom. I needed to rally the troops because I was quickly running out of time). She has hit the fairy princess part of her life. So maybe this fall, when we start to spend more time inside because of the changing weather, she can help me make a little dress. Maybe she can be a fairy for Halloween....and let me tell you, she would be one dainty fairy.....NOT!
