Kid's Pink Flamingo Costume Tutorial

I made this pink flamingo costume for my niece last year. I love the Pottery Barn costume but I thought I could created my own version of their pink flamingo kids costume and save a little money.

Make an American Girl Doll Flutter Sleeve Dress - Free Pattern & Video Tutorial

But, if you want the dress to be all of the same fabric you will only need one fat quarter for the main dress. I purchased the fabric at Walmart for only 97cents each! I had extra white fabric on hand that I used for the lining so for $1.94 plus tax I made two adorable AG dresses for my nieces!

We have had so much rain this summer that many of the flowers in my garden have just given up, only mushrooms and ixora's have prevailed! Ixora Plant
