Inspired by Molli

Back in July, when I was talking about how I always eventually find a use for fabric and yarn, I mentioned some shiny, lime green fabric that I was thinking might be the one exception to this rule.


Clearly I was wrong.

Believe it or not, this fabric was purchased to make pants for me! HA! Which just goes to show that fabrics for sale on-line are not always as they appear! You should have seen the look on my face and the good laugh we all had when I opened that package!


Anyhow, when I talked about this fabric before, I said that it's destiny might lie in the dress-ups box. I was thinking along the lines of the lining for a magicians cloak or something of that sort. Then Molli commented on that post and asked ever so matter-of-fact-ly why I had not made Galen a pair of dragonfly wings.

Well, duh.


So when we were talking about his costume for the parade, not long after, I said, "hey, you want me to make you a pair of dragonfly wings??". He did and I did and there you have it. It may take some time, but I always find a use for my fabric eventually!


And that's how this chubby little cherub of mine got his dragonfly wings.
