One Child Policy Homeschool

• July 20, 2008 - Cloth

When Beth took me to Spotlight the last time, we got this fun cotton print for only 10 Hong Kong dollars per yard ($1US = 7.5HK$).

Wish I could say that I made the dress. I didn't. I found a tailor. He charged me 30 RMB to make it. That's less than $5! So this dress cost less than $7 total!

We'll be taking this one along with three others he made when we get Sprite's yearly portraits done tomorrow.

So, Beth, what've you done with YOUR fun fabrics?

I love all the questions you've asked, readers. And I'm going to get to answering them soon. :-) Stay posted.

Wow, you are quite blessed! Living in China has its advantages, I can see. It's lovely.

It's such a satisfying feeling to wear something that you created or thought up. What a cool feeling. She'll remember that dress....down to the fabric, for a LONG time.

She looks like a Sprite in that dress! It suits her! :)
I can't believe how much has changed since I last stopped by! New city, new apartment! How exciting! I love your new apartment complex and apartment. I'm looking forward to all the nature study posts that will come out of that garden.

I just love it when little girls wear bright and fun prints!

And I am supremely jealous of the affordable tailor you have... like very extremely uber jealous!

I wanted to pop over and say thank you for visiting my blog. I ran across your blog when looking for lapbooking information for a presentation I was doing for my support group small world!

You and your daughter will have a blast beading, looking forward to see the masterpieces.

I just love the dress - very colorful!
