Denim Jumper

I love to go to the Salvation Army Thrift Store looking for things.

What things? you may ask.

Nothing in particular, just anything that strikes my fancy.

A few weeks ago I purchased this child's denim jumper for my granddaughter

Sarah.

I decided that I would fancy it up a bit.

To be truthful, I went to a craft fair at Christmas and someone

was selling children's denim clothes that had been

decorated.  She was sure selling a lot of them, and of course

I thought, as I usually do, I can do that.

This is what I did.

I bought the applique at either Michael's or Joann's.  I just can't remember where, but both

stores sell them.  I thought the owl was cute, and MI daughter just

decorated Sarah's bedroom wall with a vinyl tree

with owls on it.  It is so cute.

So I thought Sarah would like the owl also.

I made a friend through a swap, who has an etsy shop called Bird nests and Paper.

I like to visit the shop because she has vintage and "garage sale" type goods

that are reasonably priced. 

I bought the red eyelet trim for her and I knew that I wanted to put

it on the bottom of the jumper.

I love the way it turned out and I think Sarah will too.
