Cinderella

I have been really neglecting this blog lately. Sorry! I've had so much going on that I haven't dedicated much time to crafting. A month or two ago, I spent several days scrapbooking and got done with Zoe's 2nd year. (Now I'm only 2 years behind with her! lol). Today I spent the whole day sewing and finished this fun little project. I also posted this on my other blog.




I've had this little project in mind for MONTHS. First I was going to make it for Halloween, but that didn't happen. Then I planned to make it as a Christmas present, but that didn't happen. I finally dragged my sewing machine out again and got to work on it today. Next week is Zoe's birthday, and she's having a princess party with a few of her little friends from church. I figured it was time to add a new princess dress to the mix. :) I used THIS TUTORIAL. She did a great job showing step by step instructions with photos, and really made it a whole lot easier.

I had few issues with the bodice... I made the neck hole way too big, and also the back panels are a little too big. But I'm really happy with the way the rest of it turned out. :)



Zoe thinks it is just perfect for twirling...



And curtseying...



And while we were out at the fabric market in Sham Shui Po yesterday, we happened to find the perfect little pettiskirt to go with it so that it flounces out nice and big. :)



It took me ALL day to make it, (I could never win on Project Runway, lol), but I'd say it was a day well spent. Now Maya wants one, too. :)
