After a solid week of my daughter asking me to make her an Anna costume, I decided that it would be a fun project, and a nice series to add to this blog.
As is our usual practice, my girl and I sat down and talked and drew out our sketch of what we wanted. This particular costume has many aspects to it. We drew them all out. So here is our starting point:
We love the movie Frozen in our house, just like most other families w/ toddler girls who think they are princesses do! But the one line that is my daughter’s favorite of the whole movie is: The cold never bothered me anywhere [sic].
Since we are in the Northeast and approaching winter, that’s a big problem!
But I have the solution, people! A functional Anna fleece hat. Two layers of fleece w/ Anna bangs and braids! Hopefully, no more fighting about wearing a hat. I can say that my daughter is wearing hers in the house, so I consider that a win. One point, Mom!
Hello, hello!
Let me start off by saying that I am so excited to be adding this tutorial! Secondly, I am self-taught w/ sewing and probably go about things in the wrong way, but it works for me and I kind of like the challenge. I sort of view my creations as art, so I tend to wing it w/ a lot of things. You can tweak this pattern tons of ways (as I have myself) to get different looks, fits, etc. Look how cute they are!
