Sleeping Beauty Dress


My niece wanted a Sleeping Beauty dress for her birthday. Since her birthday was coming up, I wanted to make her one. After looking at tons of pictures online, I decided the Sleeping Beauty dress didn't look much different from the Cinderella and Snow White dresses. Unfortunately, there are some not-so-great knock off patterns on the market, none by Di-ny ofcourse. So, my plan was to use the pattern I already had on hand, Simplicity 2563. I drafted the other parts by hand.

I used a straight sleeve from this pattern, but drew up the over skirt and yoke. The final result? I think it turned out better than expected, and my niece absolutely loved it. Which is the joy of being the aunt to a 3-year old.

I will post my patterns later for you to download or you can email me and I will send it to you. 


Princess aprons



I made this Princess Aurora apron for my niece for her birthday and I have waited to post it until after I gave it to her. It has a cool embroidery on the side of the skirt, hard to see in this picture. What do you think? Should I make more? I guess I could and see how they do.
