Project Runway: All Stars

If you are a sewer like me, you probably watch Project Runway.  The new season just started up again last week with the best of the best designers competing against each other - the All Stars.  Sebastian and I have decided to play along with it and take on the challenges...doggy style!

First challenge:  

Create a look using items from the dollar store.  Contestants had a $100 budget.  We had a $30 budget from the husband.  HA!

I didn't know where I was going with this yet when I first headed to our local Dollar Tree, so I took a picture of everything I bought  ($28.07 worth of stuff) before I started. I circled everything I ended up using.

1. Red and metallic two-way cleaning towels for the main piece

2. Aluminum foil for the bow tie

3. Fresh Cup Coffee Filter to stuff the front pocket with

4. A zip tie to attach the bow 

5. A gold headband for the belt

6. Safety pins to attach the main front piece to the main back piece

I tried my best to make this outfit as manly as possible.  I wanted to crank out a crazy evening dress sooooo bad!!!

Reminds me of something Michael Jackson would have worn had he been born in the Medieval Times...
