Little Terror is turning 2 next week, I can’t believe how time has flown! Her favourite cartoon is Disney’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and could spend hours propped in front of the TV watching it (I know, that’s bad!). “Oh, Toodles!” was one of the many phrases she could say after she turned 1.
I made her a birthday dress, it’s after one of her favourite characters, Minnie Mouse.
The black piping and buttons really maketh the dress. Oh yes, piping again!
I referenced Simple Simon & Company’s Pleated Collar Tutorial and Craftiness Is not Optional’s Lucky Dress Sew Along (Scoop Detail) to make the bib. But I used pin tucks instead of pleats.
The budding photographer, she was playing with my first digital camera that I bought about 8 years ago, now it’s broken. I cropped out her feet from the pictures because she refused to wear anything other than my old rubber crocs.
Updated to say: This birthday dress kept giving me a deja-vu feeling, now I know! I have made a ‘Minnie Dress’ for Little Terror last year in May – that’s the second handmade dress I made for her, how time just goes by, she was only 9 months old then! Now she’s going to be 2..pretty soon she’ll be 19!

ReplyDeleteYour 'Little Miss Terror' is soo adorable and I think that red polka dot dress with a bib is soo gorgeous. Looks like a designer dress, honest.
