It's crunch time in the land of 4-H!
#2 had two "constructed outfits" (that means she made them) this year for 4-H Fashion Revue.
The first, an easy-peasy dress out of the pre-smocked fabric from Hancock's. Love the length.
The second, a beautiful plum "square skirt". This skirt went together in about and hour. Check out the makeit-loveit blog for complete instructions (she makes EVERYTHING look easy). This fabric is a knit that we bought at Wal-Mart for $1/yard. It has a permanent wrinkle to it and you DON'T HAVE TO HEM IT! #2 only used one square versus - we made one for #5 with 2 squares - both are fun and twirly. She also decided to make it maxi-length.
She says she'll wear them again. I can count on one hand how many of my 4-H outfits I wore after the fair...calico cotton wasn't real hip in the 80's. How bout you?

Alert the fashion press! She's so lovely. Also, I love how the 2nd pic looks like it was taken in front of a wind machine -- like the pros! However, I assume it's just South Dakota wind ruffling her hair.
Finally a good use for our ever present wind. Thanks for the kind words, Lucy!
