Dora's Map!

 I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the MAP!

I was gearing up to make this sort of Backpack for my daughter, when my husband came home with the one above from a business trip. I figured it saved me a lot of trouble.

 But I thought Backpack looked lonely without Map, so during an episode (or two) of Dora the Explorer, I made Map to go with Backpack. I actually had a lot of fun doing it.

Materials used: felt, black permanent marker, hot glue gun, scissors, my new serger (still getting the hang of it)

 I decided to put a lot of different places on the map so that my kids could be imaginative with their adventures. Let's see if you can find the following:

-Tallest Mountain   -Tico's Tree   -Benny's Barn  

-the Troll's bridge   

- Banana Grove     -Icky Sticky Sand        -Crocodile Pond        

-Library -Isa's Flower Garden  -the Moon  

-and a random pair of bushes (ha)

Well, there it is! Happily rolled up and waiting for someone to call MAP!!

Reversible Circle Skirt ~ Clouds and Dora

Finally posting the adorable skirt I made a few weeks ago following this awesome tutorial from You & Mie.

I chose to put Dora on one side (I knew she'd love it) and the clouds and gray skies on the other (Kona cotton). I added yellow binding to brighten up both sides.

The reversible circle skirt was easy and fun to do and I love how this skirt swings as my daughter walks!

It's a little long on her right now, but that only means she'll be able to wear it longer. ;)

And some views of the the other gray side with the cloud applique...

Really pleased with this skirt! I can definitely see myself doing another one at some point.
