Frozen "Elsa" Pillowcase Dress

Our little friend Elsie is having her 6th Birthday tomorrow and Elsie loves Elsa from the movie "Frozen." So, I thought I'd just whip up a quick pillowcase dress for her gift. Well, the dress definitely was "whipped up" quickly, but the embroidery was another story!

 The problem was not with the design. It was amazing! Beautifully digitized and flawless! I would highly recommend Cute by Kira, which is where I bought this. She has several other nice "Cold" designs, too!
I hate to admit that my own disorganization caused the delay. I could not find the tiny scrap of skin-colored fabric I knew I had somewhere!! I just organized all my fabric into bins on a shelf in the laundry room, so that's how it got lost! I finally found it and then couldn't find my flesh-colored embroidery thread! Once I found everything, the design stitched very well! I used an organza overlay for Elsa's gown: it has shiny stars on it. Here's a close-up:

This design is the 5x7 size, but it also has 4x4 and 6x10 files. I was very excited to find this shooting star/snowflake fabric for the dress.

And here's the final product. Size 6. Made with one yard of fabric!
I wish I had put Elsa on the other side, so she was looking towards the center, but overall I love it and I hope Elsie will, too!!

Sewing School #4: Pillowcase Rompers

Yesterday my friend May came by to make a pillowcase romper for her daughter Morgan. She was a total newbie sewist and did great! We used the Bonnie Blue pattern Cassie and it went together very well, but apparently runs quite large!

This is the one May made. Morgan's favorite color is orange and we liked this bright flowery print. As you can see, the size 5 was way too big on her 3 1/2 year old. That is understandable, but...

 Here's the size 12 months I made for Ella! It was even a little big on Morgan. This is supposed to be shorts.
We had a lot of fun making these, but next time I will check how the sizing runs first!
I hope my friend May will come back for another Sewing School soon!!
