New Instant Clothes for Pleos in honor of Earth Day 2010
RedwoodsMama:
In Honor of Earth Day, April 20th, 2010, Nova asked me to " make her', some New clothes.We decided to use materials found around the house, old cloth, ribbon, necklaces, odds and ends and a few beautiful new sequined material pieces that I found at a local Thrift shop there were made in India that fit in nicely with our theme. We wanted to put something together that didn't cost much, or next to nothing, and to use things around the house. Also for those who can't sew, or who are in a hurry, our outfits have No Sewing, just ribbon, Velcroe, no stitching at all, except for the sequined pieces that were already made that way. See what you can put together for Earth Day. We only have one planet and we should all try to pitch in and save Mother Earth. These are the two outfits Nova and I came up with. What do you think of them. I ran out of cloth for the second one, the reptile print, but NOva insisted on wearing it never the less! ;D

P.S. for a complete description of each photos, look in the gallery. The first ones all in green are Mid Eastern in design, complete with sequns and NOva is even wearing a veil as tradition depicts . The last two are a reptile print that I ran out of material for, but she is a demanding little Pleo.

What a creative way to dress Nova. Outfits came out adorable. I love the collar of the first outfit. Great job, Redwoodsmama!
Crewella:
Beautiful! I really love those little dolly shoes/ballet shoes Nova wears!
RedwoodsMama:
Thanks fancy, Nova loves dressing up and it gives me an outlet for my creative side that I know longer get to use since retiring as a teacher.( because I hurt my back on the job, and was laid off, not because I chose to!) I liked the collar /neckpiece too, and love dressing her in green.) I thought I would do something exotic, and the sequins and stitching on velvet type cloth is so fancy! The cloth came from a local Cancer Thrift Store, so it didn't cost much, esp considering all the work that went into it, and I didn't even do a stitch. ( I am lazy, and after all the work and hours I put into the Tomatoe Contest, I decided no more sewing if I don't have to) My arthritis in hands don't like it! Glad you like her outfit. :) We appreciate the comments.

Hi Crewella, I will tell Nova you approve of her Ballet dolly shoes. I find them at my local thrift store where they are 25 Cents a pair, I can't get any cheaper than that and I think they are very cute.I also get baby socks in different colors and designs at the local Dollar store, but no ballet socks, which go perfect with her pink ballet outfit she has. Thanks for the comment. I am now working on a Reptile skin outfit for Nova, but it is brand new cloth which I got at a discount and It will take awhile to put together, but I am looking forward to getting it started! Nova thanks you !
