Sometimes the only difference between the right choice and the wrong one...
is simply what we want.

Fashion Show!
Each semester the Dress and Humanities classes put on a fashion show at USU. I am in that class, so I got to participate! At first I thought it was kinda a dumb assignment, but I ended up loving it. We were required to make an item of clothing out of recycled material. The theme for the fashion show this year was "re-tell" so the categories were book genres. My friend Taylor and I worked hard to design and make a little dress for the Western genre category. This is how it went:
So this was just a fun, unique opportunity. I was surprised at how legit it was. Lights, a catwalk, music, etc etc. A lot of people came too! The TSC ballroom was packed! So there ya have it! If you get the chance, go to the next one! So fun. :)

| Draw out the design |
 |
| Gather materials...we used gunnysacks (burlap), bandanas, and lace! |
 |
| Draw out a few patterns here and there.... |
 |
| Sew our little hearts out - love my new sewing machine from Christmas! I was excited to have something to use it for. |
 |
| Some details... |
 |
| I think these details made the dress! Cute lace and burlap flowers on the bandana belt. |
 |
| Kellie-jo being awesome and modeling our "gunnysack prom" dress. |
 |
| Guess what! Our dress won for the Western category! That was exciting! |
 |
| This is what we won. A Long Way Gone. I'm excited to read it. I've heard it's way good. |
