On Monday of this week my baby turned THREE! I guess that means she isn't really a baby anymore, can I still call her a toddler? Or is she officially a preschooler? It seems crazy that she has turned three already. Before I became a mom, I remember hearing parents talk about how fast kids grow up...they would say "you blink and they are grown". And now living it I realize how true that is! I seems like I was just bringing that tiny, dark haired baby home, and now she is a
KID!...who has blonde hair, ha! But at the same time, it feels like she has always been a part of the family.
This Minnie Mouse inspired dress was one of her birthday presents. This girl is a serious Minnie fan! Making her a Minnie dress has been on my mind for a while now...ever since she picked out those yellow shoes sometime last year. And I am so glad I finally did it because she LOVES this dress (and she will probably outgrow those shoes any day now!)
For the dress I used the
Alyss dress pattern from
issue 7 of One Thimble with just one little modification. I think it turned out perfectly, it is exactly what I had envisioned in my head!
The dress pattern has some pretty, flared sleeves, but they didn't fit my Minnie vision. So I gathered the bottom of the sleeve too and added a bias trim to the hem. Now they are a perfect match to her Minnie doll! (there is a really great article on adding bias trim in
issue 7 of One Thimble too!)
I sized up and made the dress in a size 3 so my petite girl has plenty of growing room, I anticipate lots of Minnie dress up in our house! There are 2 options in the dress pattern, one has working buttons on the front and a side zip, the other has decorative buttons and a back zip. I chose the back zip.
The dress sews up great! But with the zipper, lined bodice, and sleeves, I would say it is best for intermediate seamstresses.
I made a huge bow and hot glued it to a head band so Em and Minnie can match from head to toe!
I think you can tell from the photos how much she loves the dress! She told me "this is my favorite thing I never had before!" I think I will call that a win! Happy birthday, sweet girl!!
She is such a doll. And you're lucky she'll still pose for pics for you. Though age 3 might change that...
ReplyDeleteThanks! She loves these photoshoots, we have a lot of fun...lots of giggles and dancing!
