Turkey's, Turkey's, Turkey's

Only 11 more days until we get to eat one of many yummy Thanksgiving meals and spend some extra time with family!  I have been trying to come up with a Thanksgiving outfit to make for my daughter out of this adorable polka dot fabric that I found.  As I was checking out this fabulous blog, Dressing Heidi Sage, and they had a post/tutorial on how to make a simple rectangle skirt!  I thought, "This is the perfect start because we all know time is of the essence!"  She also posted on how you can use your fabric as inspiration for the shirt.  I decided to use the fabric to make a yo-yo and to use it like the feathers on a turkey!  Well, I had another dilemma! The red shirt that I had on hand was supposed to be for her Christmas outfit!  So, I decided to make the turkey removable!  For the turkey, I cut out a turkey body from regular brown felt. I added a beak with yellow felt and hand stitched the eyes and waddle on.  I then sewed it onto the fabric yo-yo through the eyes of the turkey so that there would not be any extra stitches on him.  I attached it to the front of the lower left side of the shirt with a safety pin.  And viola, there I had a SIMPLE Thanksgiving outfit.  And you know I have to have a coordinating hair bow, so I made fabric yo-yo from the polka dot fabric and made a clip to attach to her brown bow.  With that said, you must check out this blog, she has the cutest ideas for clothes and this rectangle skirt is so simple!!
