Like all little girls, Shira likes Frozen, her favorite character is the little snowman Olaf. I’ve been keeping my eyes open for Olaf fabric. Anna and Elsa are easy to find but so far no Olaf.
Until Hawaii that is.
The Calico Cat in Honolulu had this fabric – yay!! Not only is it Olaf, this fabric is really adorable.
So I went into my stash of patterns and pulled out the Roller Skating Dress and got to work. Oliver and S patterns are easy to work with, in no time I had this:
Of course I had to use a different fabric for the collar, it sort of looks like snow flakes, well it does for those of us who rarely see snow.
Cute from the back as well
Got to use another one of that treasure trove of buttons and I only needed the one.
Nice top-stitching if I can say so myself.
Putting in a lining is what gives the neckline, sleeve caps and elastic casing such a nice clean finish.
Shira just turned four and it wasn’t hard to get her to model the dress.
Or to pose with Saba.
What a sweet dress for a darling little girl!! Nice work.
