Halloween Costumes!

About 20 years ago, two adorable little girls wanted to be a Princess & a Clown.  They were the granddaughters of one of my bosses and I gladly obliged!  All these years later, I pulled out the patterns and decided on the CLOWN!

I have to say it's been a hit!   If you had time to read my early October post, you may recall that Princess Tickle Feather modelled the Pink Princess Clown outfit.  She did such a fantastic job that I had several Clown Prince costume orders!  they went to Louisiana, Texas, New York & California....  can't wait for the Halloween photos so you all can see how cute these little ones look!
These little treasures have been made using  20 year old Simplicity costume pattern #0664. 



...hope everyone enjoys the rest of October & the beautiful fall weather!  have a happy & safe Halloween!

presenting...Little Miss Prim


 
 




A wise person told me to "do what you know",  so I'm heeding that advice and present to you...  Little Miss Prim!  .. special occasion dresses for the Princess in your life!..starting with christening gowns and bonnets...  







                      adding some dresses and casualwear.. embellished denim skirts, sundresses and special order for the girlie gilrs!
























maybe a Halloween Costume for good measure....
and ending in bridal accessories!

I've spent some wondeful time, enjoying every stitch while creating a small collection of special handcrafted  items for the Little Princesses...adding small details that make the all difference with extra love sewn into each piece of lace, snap, button and ribbbon!

I hope you find this a delight to look at, enjoy and pass on to your little one!
