K. had a hand-me-down shirt with a random picture on it, and it was pretty boring so she never wore it. I decided to try out an appliqué technique, and found a great tutorial online to make a hedgehog appliqué. I decided to put a bow in her hair, since she’s a girly hedgehog, and used rhinestones for her eye and nose. 
Then, I realized the shirt didn’t really look great with jeans, and was only passable with khakis. I had only gotten a quarter yard of the plaid fabric, but contemplated making a matching skirt (I do love the matching). I had read recently that skirts are just rectangles, and I thought I’d try to make one. Unfortunately, the fabric looked like it might be a little short.
But fortunately, I found a piece of cotton quilt binding in my drawer, passed along from my grandma. The pink matched the skirt perfectly and lengthened the skirt to be an acceptable length.
And I made a matching hair accessory, of course. It’s just a simple “yo yo,” and I figured out how to make it based on this tutorial, and added a covered button for the center.
Now all I need is a model who is willing to stand politely for the camera.
