Finished projects 2014 (Toddler)

Sometimes, when I want to engage in some unselfish sewing (or when I just want to sew something really cute), I'll sew something for my toddler daughter. This page gives a snapshots of the sewing projects that I've completed for my daughter in 2014.

Simplicity: 2133 Girls' Frozen Costume (4-Nov-2014)

The now-iconic "Snow Queen" dress, as worn by Elsa in the movie Frozen. This was my daughter's Halloween costume this past year, and yes, I did finish it in time for Halloween, even if I didn't blog about until a few days later.
