Make Leg Warmers From A Scarf

This scarf I actually got at The Dollar Tree.  One Dolla!!!

They have a variety of color combos and I think stripes make adorable leg warmers.

Sebastian models the "before."

You can virtually make these leg warmers to fit any sized dog.  I made them for my big dog, since leg warmers are kinda for girls...LOL!!!

I cut the scarf at every six stripes since that seemed like a good height.  Cut a total of 4 pieces.

For smaller dogs, cut every four stripes...or less.

Serge or zigzag the top and bottom of each piece to keep the threads from unraveling.  

Then fold each piece in half lengthwise with right sides together and stitch down the sides.

For smaller dogs, take in the sides as much as needed.  Measure their legs to determine how much needs to be taken in.

Turn each piece right side out and tada!!!  Soooo easy.

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...
