tree skirt

i am having so much fun making special displays for SF renegade.

i had a child size dress form that i wanted to use sort of like a christmas tree to display some of my ornaments. i knew i wanted to make a dress for her, but i didn't want it to be too fussy and take away from the birds.

 

i was digging around in some old fabric stashes and came across a tank that i dyed green. it fit perfectly onto the form stretching all the way to the bottom. i just had to do a little altering on the straps.

 

i stitched around the base so it fits like a lampshade, added a satin ribbon, some sequins, a few birds....and voila!

i couldn't resist pinning some wings to her back.

 

i think i still want to make a collar to sit over the shoulders and maybe add a few leaves to the skirt. i might even twist some stars around her shoulders unless i decide to use her as a necklace display. she looks pretty fabulous with glass beads strung around her neck. oh my. decisions, decisions...

anyways, i am planning to add some new stuff to the shop over the next few days incuding a new batch of owl plush and some tiny house kits.

wishing you all a warm and wonderful holiday weekend.
