Purple Reigns!!!!

For a long time now, Danielle has been enamoured with the colour purple. Her closet is filled with purple outfits, purple sweaters and purple socks! Even her room is purple, as in 97% purple! LOL

For Halloween, Danielle wanted to be a beautiful fairy princess. Well, a beautiful fairy princess must be dressed in a gown that matches her station :-) And, a store bought Halloween costume wasn't quite enough. So what's a Mom to do? Well, I think it is pretty obvious; don't you? Sew one of course!

And here is my munchkin with the finished dress - isn't she oh so sweet? OK I guess I am partial! :-)


Supplies:  Close to my Heart (cardstock); Kaisercraft (pattern papers, chipboard); Queen & Co (pearls); stitching
