This morning on our way to church I wanted to snap some pics of my daughter in a dress I made her. I made a bunch more for her cousins who went to Disney over Thanksgiving break and wanted her to have one as well.
Tonight I went to open up the pics and lo and behold most of them had caught a little rainbow from the sunlight.
It was such a nice surprise! I was also surprised some of these came out okay because princess would not stop moving for me! The little stinker 🙂
And for her cousins I made these:
The younger girls got a shirt and leggings.
I simply cut off the bottom of t-shirts and added the fabric.
I did the same thing with the leggings. I just cut off the bottom and added the ruffled fabric.
I did a circle applique with a Minnie Mouse silhouette applique on top (I found the silhouette doing a google image search). Then I added a simple little bow to it.
Then for the two older girls, I just added fabric to the bottom so it would be a more mature Minnie Mouse inspired top. I wasn’t quite sure it they would want the applique on their clothing at their age 🙂

December 3, 2011 at 12:01 amThank you everyone! I got the shoes at Old Navy just last week. These have become one of her favorite pairs to wear because she can “tap dance” in them 😉

As a side note, I also love your little one’s pink shoes with the bow in the back, do you mind my asking where they are from? Thanks!

October 29, 2013 at 3:13 pmIs this too hard for a beginner? Do you have a tutorial for how to do this or could you recommend what size to cut the fabric? Also, do you have a tutorial for an appliqué like that one for a beginner? Thank you!
