Craft Projects

Now that I am out of grad school I have been trying to figure out what to do with my time and one of the things that I would really like to make this fall is a game day dress for Aggie football. On Saturday I started trying to find all of the things that I wanted to use for my dress. The majority of the trips were spent without finding exactly what I was looking for. I was unable to find an aggie shirt that looked like what I had in mind for my design but I did find a plain grey shirt that will work for the top. I was looking for some maroon fabric with white polkadots, that was not to be found. I ended up with two different maroon fabrics for the skirts, one with dark flowers (very small) and the other has some light and darker maroons swirled together. At the waist band I found an adorable Aggie print, that is super cute.

This is the fabric for the first dress

The second dress will have the Aggie band and then the lower darker fabric

 I will admit that I spent a whole lot more money than I had anticipated, most of these fabrics were about 10 a yard and that was insane. I realized that I enjoy crafting and that this would be worth it. These may not be the cutest most amazing dresses ever but I am going to try and make them and then I will enjoy wearing them this season. I have high hopes for these dresses. I will be sure to update you as I go along. I am super excited about making these dresses.

I love crafting and I cannot wait to get these dresses ready for football season!!! Gig'em Aggies!
