Elsa Inspired Dress - Part 1


First of all, sorry that I didn't get this post up last week. The camera that I use was causing me problems so I wasn't able to get the pictures onto my computer until today.

Anyways...  on with the post. My oldest niece is going to turn 4 in August and she LOVES Frozen. So I am making her an Elsa dress for her Birthday.
Since she often 'plays frozen', acting out the songs and many of the scenes, I think she will enjoy this :)

The dress I used for the pattern.


I am making the dress from this blue material and I am using the shimmery material for the sleeves and cape.



The front and back pieces. 
I know it's wrinkly. I have yet to iron it :)




 I did some ruching in the back with elastic thread.
Yay, for not having to put in a zipper!!




 Attaching the front and the back.




The sleeves.
Isn't that shimmery material gorgeous?



BTW, my fantasy is now 25,000 words long!! Almost there :D

    Can't wait to see the finished project and I'm sure the girly will be excited to be Elsa. :)

Elsa Inspired Dress - Part 2

Image
I finished making the Elsa dress for my niece!! I had originally wanted it to be fairly screen accurate, but it turned into more of an Elsa 'inspired' dress. I added this ribbon to the dress because I thought it looked too plain. Sorry that I don't have a picture of the dress without the ribbon.  I attached the cape to the dress with snaps, so that it would be removable. I also made this cape for my younger niece (she's 2) so that she would be able to play with her sister. Let me know what you think! ~CH~

Novel Updates And O.Y.A.N.

Image
It's been two months since I published The Shards of Ailevon and I've sold ten copies!!!! It may not seem like much, but to me it's pretty exciting!! In honor of this momentous occasion, I though I would share with you the program I used to write it.  One Year Adventure Novel . At a home school conference, a few years back, my dad found this program and pointed it out to me. I had written a couple short stories and enjoyed it, so he thought I might like this program. He was right!! Though the program was designed for the novel to only take one year to write, it took me two years. Editing took longer than I thought it would  :-/  Oh well, it's published! :) For the fantasy that I am writing this year, I am using the second year program, Other Worlds . I am not following it exactly, it's like what Barbossa would say:     Oh, and as an update on my fantasy, I have over 15,000 words written, so I'm halfway through the first draft!!!
