I did it - my daughter finally got the sweater I always wanted to make for her...I have wished for a while that my sewing skills would be good enough to tackle some bigger projects, preferrably clothing for my kids. Our son grows legs first - and combined with a desire to always slide on his knees and crawl into small spaces, this leads to an extreme shortage of pants that a) have legs that are long, b) a tiny waist and c) no holes at the knees... I already repaired/elongated lots of his old pants, but a couple of pairs of pants for Mr. Noodles are next on my list.
Anyway, I found this super cute Fabric - pink/red stripes and hearts in a nice cotton velour that I simply had to use for the Mouse Princess. I combined it with a couple of different greens I had at home and added some classic strawberry shortcake apliqué - vóilà, a new favourite :-)She wants to wear it all day, every day now :-)
keep creating,
Vee
Oh Vee, The Mouse Princess is growing up! She's SO sweet and her new shirt is beautiful! (I had some favorite clothes my Mom made when I was little too; photos to treasure!)
