Fairy Dresses

Two and a half years ago, the Craftyguider family was invited to my cousin’s little girl’s 4th birthday party.   She’d chosen to have a fancy dress party, so being the glutton for punishment crafty mother that I am, I decided to make a Tinkerbell dress for my eldest who was the same age.   To make things fair, I also bought a pattern and fabric to make a dress for my youngest afterwards.

Tinkerbell was delivered on time and my eldest loved it.

Next up was one of Tinkerbell’s friends, Silvermist.

I remember cutting out all the fabric for an age two girl so my youngest could grow into it.   And that’s where it stopped.   Last year I even put it on my list of things to achieve before the year was up, but even then it would’ve been too small.   It was destined to stay in the WIP pile until I realised that my friend’s little girl was due to be two.   It only took an afternoon to sew the bits together and Silvermist was born.

I added a pair of wings from Amazon (a last minute purchase as I forgot, and you can’t be a fairy without wings!) and the dress was delivered to the birthday girl today.   I think she liked it, and now she can play fairies with her big sister.

Another WIP finished!
