PICTURE PERFECT FRIDAY
Cherie is our hostess this week
& the theme she has given us is:
So many things came to mind with this theme. I am sure at one time or another all of us have used a butter knife for a makeshift screw driver when we couldn't get a hold of the tool. Also times I have used the refection in a building window as a makeshift mirror to straighten my hair before going into an appointment (no pictures of this lol). At work all the time people are using coffee cups to have makeshift soup bowls when they have forgotten to bring a bowl.
What I decided on was a picture taken several years back when my daughter volunteered me to make a Christmas dress for one of her co-workers who was having trouble finding just what she wanted. It was for her little toddler. Given the measurements of the child I stated out sewing (it was a slip, dress and separate collar). At one point I realized I needed to check out how the dress and slip hung together as the cathedral lace was suppose to show out the bottom of the dress but that was all that was suppose to show. Not having the child present I had to come up with a
Makeshift Model that had about the same measurements around as the child...
And I just happened to have one...
