(Like I've ever done that before. heh heh) Alos, sorry about the bad quality of these pics-this was done at night time, obviously! Click below for more! Here's the basic sleeve shape. To give you an idea … [Read more...]

....Let down your hair!I just had to make a Rapunzel (from the new Disney movie) dress for Sadie. (had to-meaning...I am very slightly off my rocker when it comes to dress up) I used this dress as a starting point, but made it a lot simpler-no overlay on the skirt, embroidery, etc. I sewed on some ribbon for the stripey sleeves-love how that … [Read more...]

Sadie loves dress up lately. Like, won't wear anything else-loves. So I thought I'd add a(nother) crown to her dress up stash. Also, this so handily fits in with the Far, Far Away theme of this week on Punkin Patterns that I was asked to guest post for! ;) It's simple and oh so easy to embellish! Join in the crown-making fun, won't … [Read more...]

Who's the fairest of them all? In this house-it's Sadie! She definitely has the prettiest clothes of us all. As you can tell, I've been on a dress up kick-I can't resist all that costume fabric on sale at Joanns! This dress only set me Rory back about $4. Can't beat that. Seriously. I'd like to see someone try. ;) I love her little toddler … [Read more...]

belle dress
September 20, 2010 By 24 Comments
I did it. Just putting it out in the blogosphere made me feel accountable-so tada! I made a Belle dress for the Sadester. She loves it of course. I have a little beef with it. (or more specifically, the way I chose to make it) First, the fabric. Joann's was out of yellow knit, so I made do with cotton. Why did I not use satin or something? Don't … [Read more...]
cinderella dress

sooo....I've been wanting to make Sadie a Cinderella dress-up dress for the longest time, but my first attempt was pretty pathetic, so I scrapped that one and tried again! I got some bridal satin and blue fabric in the remnant bin at Joann's, so this dress cost about $5 to make. nice, right? :D I ended up drafting my own pattern for this dress. I … [Read more...]
