I have this thing about buying "national holiday" clothes from stores. Most shirts are either horribly overpriced or horridly hideous. So this year I decided to make Aubrey her own Canada Day outfit. This skirt cost a whole 2 bucks to make, wait $2.50 since the "dollar" store is now the $1.25 Store. It was cheap, you get the point. The maple leaf fabric is actually 2 bandannas sewn together and the lining is a old junky white shirt that I found jammed in the back of my closet! The headband is another $1.25 Store find, and the tank is from Walmart, I think I got it for $1 a couple weeks ago. So in total a whopping $4.75, man, I love a good deal.
I followed this tutorial then kind of tweaked it a little to suit Aubba. All in all I think Aubrey will be the Cutest Canadian tomorrow :)

oh man that is a good deal. i just paid about 30 for tiffani's outfit, which she may only wear once because money grows on trees in my house.
