May 17th , 2009.  What’s so special about this day?  This is when New York’s Veggie Pride Parade will take place.  Last year’s first installment of the parade was so successful that the organizers decided to do it again.  The parade will launch

in Manhattan’s Olde Meat District (where 9th Ave., Gansevoort St., Greenwich St., and Little West 12th St. intersect) at 12 Noon. Line-up will begin at 11 a.m. and culminate in Union Square Park (northern end).

Veggie Pride Parade is much more than just walking.  The event has an extensive program, including guest speakers, best costume competitions, musical performances, naming ceremony of human baby vegetables and fruits, offspring (small children in costumes), and much more.  For more information visit Veggie Pride Parade website or follow Parade’s blog.

Craft

To continue yesterday’s children topic here are tutorials for sewing baby-girl skirts.  Do not be intimidated, both tutorials are suitable for beginners.

First one is a bandanna skirt from V and Co.  The skirt would fit 2-3 year old girl and makes for a great use of your old bandannas.

If you never wore bandannas, here is another upcycling sewing project.  Tracy (aka Amazing Mae) wrote down her verson of the tutorial, adapting it for an older girl (3-4 years old) and using cloth napkins instead of bandannas.

Both tutorials have lots of pictures and are very easy to follow.
