She's crafty - and she's just my type She's crafty!

OK, for all you Beastie Boy fans out there... sorry to let you down. But whenever I get my craft (actual crafts ;) ) on that song by Beastie Boys pops into my head. Don't know it? It's on License to Ill. Check it.
w00t.
Anywhooooo...
I was quite inspired and decided to let it out.... I've ran across the pillowcase dress a few times on many of the random craft blogs I follow... I decided to come up with my own version. Here you have it:
001 

002
I couldn't help myself.... had to make a shirt for the Eman that matched Ms. Izzie-bizzie's dress. Aren't they gonna look adorable!?!
003
and if the dress wasn't cute enough... let add a flower hair clip made out of zippers! Yup, that's right. I didn't come up with this idea. Fun, huh? When I saw it... had to see if I could make one.
004 
Yes, apparently the cute dress and hair accessory wasn't enough for me. I made Izzie some oh so adorable leg warmers with  cute matching bows on the ankles. Was EXTREMELY stoked when I was doing my morning blog reading and saw someone do a post on how to make leg warmers!
I can hardly contain myself when I see little girls with leg warmers... ADORABLE. I have tried to purchase them in the past but they were always out of the size I needed for Izzard for the color.... bah. Not anymore.
The possibilities are endless.
Muhaha.
w00t.
OK, more cuteness.
I'm excited, can you tell?
005
Got this fabric for 99 cents a yard. I couldn't pass it up. A bit on the boring side for me and Ms. Izzie-bizzie... when in doubt add ruffles! ;)
006
Yes, I made a matching hair accessory. How could I not?
007
Another zipper flower clip.
Love.
008
OH my goodness.
I can hardly contain myself with these leg warmers. If I could pull them off... I would wear them everyday. Yup, everyday... ok. I might take them to wash from time to time.
Whew.
and there's more.....
010
My favorite part about this skirt is watching Izzie spin in circles when she wears it.
Puts a smile from ear to ear.
What's it missing....  a hair accessory... but of course!

011
On the inside of the dress and both skirts you'll find this tag... "Specially Hand Made By Mommy"!!
LOVE.
I definitely got my craft fix.
Feels good. 
Real good. :)
