Hello Readers,
The love for Frozen still rumbles on in this household.
Here’s the inspiration:
Here’s my version:
I used view D from Simplicity 2571. If I had thought about it I would have rounded the corners off. The fabric is the same fabric I used to make my New Look 6097 wrap dress. I simply cut 2 back pieces; one lengthened to around 70 cm, and one shortened to around 30 cm, and treated them as one, sewing them to a shortened front piece. I didn’t interface the collar.
Close up of the pom pom trim:
It’s all very rough and ready. I didn’t even finish any edges or hem it…but it’s a ponte knit…so what…and the important thing is that Kezia loves it.
About this pattern: I (or rather Kezia) have had my money’s worth out of it. Pre-blogging days I used view A to make her a wedding dress. This photo was taken in 2011…how fast they grow!
And this is her in 2012 wearing the red riding hood cape from view B. Off to take lunch to granny’s house through the woods!
One pattern. Many looks. So many happy childhood memories. These are the things which make sewing worthwhile.
Have a great Sunday and week ahead!
This is just so cute!!!!!! I also made my girls costumes, they loved dressing up and you’re so right, children grow so quickly, my girls are already 23 and 20, so enjoy the time with your litle girl. She looks so happy!
Thanks Helen.
OMG, too cute!
Thanks Alethia.
You make me want to build a snowman!
Well if the cold doesn’t bother you anne…
Or ride our bikes along the hall?
Let’s all just remember love is an open door…and eat chocolate fondue?!?!
super cute!
Thanks Beth.
Such a wonderful thing to be able to do… sew the costumes… they cost a fortune in the shops!
Thanks Janet, although I think that sometimes making stuff like this for kids is not that cost effective! It is if you have lots of stash/ scraps 🙂
All are sooooo cute! You are a good mum!!!!
Ha thanks judi…good mum…sometimes 🙂
Your daughter looks so cute! She’s a natural model too. She must be very happy with all the beautiful hand made outfits!
Thanks zibergirl. She loves to dress up!
I love it! You’ve given me an idea as to how to deal with our household Frozen obsession!
Thanks Rachel.
Awww!!!!!
Just the pattern for the FROZEN Cape I was looking for . I will sew it for my 7 year old granddaughter for Halloween. Thanks, Victoria
Thank you very very much! Manju, I love you so much for sewing such pretty clothes, I always dream that I become a creative and fashional sewer, then my children and I will enjoy dressing clothes sewed by myself.
I will have a lot of disposable time. I do admit that I’m a beginner, but I love sewing very much, and I often find some tutors about clothes design by Internet such as http://www.wikihow.com/Design-Clothes.
At beginning, I used an old manual sewing machine, and then I have troubles on how to use it effectively and comfortably . Some day ago, an old sewer gave me an advice that I should have a user-friendly computerized sewing machine.
But how to choose a suitable machine troubled me again, and then worked hard for several hours on google, so I finally find a clear comparison chart among all kinds of sewing machines on the site http://www.bestsewingmachinereviewspro.com and select one which is best for me.
It is very helpful to me, and I am happy to share my trouble of growing up to a fashional sewer.
Thanks again for Manju, We all love your cute forever!
Thanks lisa! Hope you have success in your projects.
