Step one, outfit design

My character is a future girl of the year named Lexie. Lexie gets bullied at school and learns to forget her troubles at gymnastics but she gets hurt and has to find something else to do instead. Lexie’s outfit is good for wearing all day at school (and it fits her school’s very strict dress code.) and she can put her leotard under it for gymnastics.

My drawing is not very good but my design is to make a dress out of a circle from a my froggy stuff tutorial, A leotard out of a sock also using a my froggy stuff tutorial, Crochet a half sweater, And make shoes, a backpack, And a pencil case out of duck tape.

Step two, In process pictures

Dress

I made this dress out of a tutorial from my froggy stuff.

I traced a hula hoop onto a shirt.

Then I embroidered the edge of the circle with ribbon.

My mom ironed it.

I cut two holes for arms and a hole for the head and put it on my doll and tied it with a ribbon.

Sweater

I crocheted this sweater.

The start.

Mckenna modeling the sweater without sleeves.

Almost finished.

Sewing on the button.

I had planed to do full length sleeves but when I got to three quarters I stopped.

Shoes

I made these shoes out of duck tape.

I made this shoe and then decided to do something else.

I started as I always do for shoes with a card stock sole.

I made a cross out of duck tape on the shoe.

I covered the cross with other duck tape and put a little tab on it and attached the tab to the shoe.

I trimmed it and it was finished.

For the leotard I lost the pictures but I cut leg and arm holes in a sock for the leotard.

For the rest of my things I am going to just show the pictures without words.

Step three, Finished outfit pictures
