    Love it! Mine think I can "whip up" anything in no time. Sometimes I can but sometimes there is just not enough time. Like, can you make three matching dresses in 3 different sizes this afternoon between 1pm and 3 pm and by the way you'll have to go get fabric then. Haha. Not. But I love that they think it

    Look in the costume section of simplicity or McCalls patterns one or both have the pattern you are seeking. Both patterns that I have used that were similar, were pretty easy once I read through the directions. Look for the vest shape as the rest is easy-Peasy. Good luck, I believe in your magic too. Lol!

    My adult niece is really into the Disney Princesses - she just made herself an Ariel dress (for when she out of the water)
    would love you a picture of your Anna dress

    My daughters thought I could do anything as far as prom dresses when they were in high school...and so did some of their friends! I had fun doing it, though, and all the girls loved their dresses. Now my granddaughter is just as proud that she is the only girl in her First Communion class whose grandma made her dress and veil! Last week one of my coworkers brought material and a pattern to work, asking me if I could make a costume for her daughter for the play she was in. I asked "When is the play?" She said "May 2". "Oh!" says I. Yep, I got it done and my friend picked it up today. NOW I can get back to quilting...but I had fun!
