Summer has a "sock-hop" to go to this Saturday and I (stupidly ) told her that I would make her a poodle skirt. Now, I have not bought the fabric yet, so can anyone suggest a proper material to use and any suggestions on poodle patterns and general HELP would be great!!

any cotton meterial will work out fine Tonya... Pink and blue are popular and you can cut a poodle out of felt and stitch or glue it on the bottom hem.... It should be pretty full I don't have any patterns for it though it should cover the knees

I have to go to Wally world tonight anyway and have no way to go out tomorrow I am gonna buy some felt and an iron on poodle if I can find one. Thanks y'all!!

Well, I bought pink felt for the skirt, sheer pink for her scarf, greyish/blue felt for the poodle body, white felt for the poodle poofs, white sneakers, black felt for the "saddles" on the shoes, and a cool colored "rick-rack" for the leash.
So far- I have the shoes and about 85% of the skirt done. I can't wait to see her in it!! Here are a couple shots of the shoes. Not bad, If I do say so myself!
What do y'all think?? The pink material they are on is the felt for her skirt.

Tonya, Those shoes are adorable!!! She is gonna be the cutest girl at the dance!

Thanks you two! All that I have left on the skirt is the poodle...that will be a bit harder than the rest, but it is gonna look soooooo cool!! Next time I will get a pattern, tho- the hemline on the skirt is a bit off(some parts are a hair longer than others). Hopefully I can get pics tonight of her in the completed skirt.

I am sure it is not bad at all Tonya, a bit off sounds more like you noticed that but no one else will. I cannot wait to see pics!

Thanks guys! It came together really well. I will get a close up of the skirt tomorrow so you can all see my freaky looking poodle. It looks kinda sick or something up close- thank God no one will be inspecting it!

Tonya and all, I loved watching this whole thread unfold. Good work Tonya. I loved those projects when my kids were younger. It's cool you have such a nice place to share the process.
I love it all, but those shoes sre too cool for school!!! Very clever stuff. I'm not sure I would have thought of that!
You will have to save that in your box of halloween treasures.

Thanks all! I am loving this whole project... I always wanted a poodle skirt and saddle shoes
I am so glad I have you guys to share it with- My mom doesn't have internet, so I wait until I have enough pics to fill a CD and send her that.
Penny- Her real dad is taking her I was really hoping that he would have to work (how awful is that... ) I may just have to show up and take a bunch of pics anyway!

That poodles is great!!! Nothing wrong with it at all Tonya. I am sorry that Doug will not be able to take her to the dance. I bet he is bummed about that as well.

Tonya, Summer is precious and the outfit to die for.
She is a very lucky girl to have a great mom and two dads who love her so that both want to be with her special occasions like this.
My situation was similar to yours. Kathleen is 18 (today... Happy birthday Kathleen!) and Kerry will be 25 in June. There is 6 1/2 years and world of difference in their dad's between them.

Tonya, you did such an awesome job on that. She is so pretty. I bet she is going to want to wear it all the time around the house once the dance is over.
