Well what do you think?

I want to add more silver snowflakes, but Mollie was impatient to wear it for her secret party….
…..which turned out to be a Tea party for me!!!

The train (cape) was just what Mollie had wanted, I have so many pictures of her looking backwards at it, that I became concerned she was going to fall over!

Thank you all so such super comments, they were much read.

We are in the process of updating our website, it is starting to look different.

Part 3 of Elsa's frozen dress

The dress was moving along.
The idea in my head was beginning to come to life.
Read part one here and part two here

It was looking like a dress.
Sewing the bodice to the skirt was easy.
Mollie had her first experience at being “pinned” into a dress,
but she still could not stand still!

Read more about the making of the dress here.

We have a new challenge starting today

Frozen Elsa's dress from ribbons

say helo to wednesday 405 
If you missed yesterday story, you can find it here .

So you think Mollie sweet talked me into making her dress.
Well you would be right.

She sooooo wanted an Elsa dress, that I said yes.

The key to the dress was the bodice, and to me that was the easy bit!

It looked just like ribbon weaving – well sort of……
…..and the only ribbon to use would be “BLING” here
I used Silver and Tropic colours

Pop back tomorrow for the next stage of the dress making
