"Mermaiding"

Always be yourself! Unless you can be a mermaid.... then always be a mermaid!

I stumbled upon a sewing blog called The Sewing Rabbit at www.mesewcrazy.com. Among many awesome tips and tutorials found there, I was most excited to discover a DIY Mermaid Costume Video Tutorial. After a quick run to the fabric store and an afternoon spent sprawled out in front of the tv, alas, a genuine mermaid tail was produced!

Being a loyal TOMS shoe wearer for years, I was tickled to find a DIY TOMS-inspired toddler shoe pattern created by Leisha of Homemade Toast. Her tutorial was simple and direct, making the directions easy to follow. Although this project was time consuming to get the details just right, it was well worth the time spent. Who knew you could have so much fun making something so tiny?
