Dragonfly Costume

My little niece decided that she wanted to be a dragonfly for halloween. She didn't want wings and wanted a pretty dress. Now this was going to be tricky...

I started with the skirt utilizing some fabric my mom had mailed me from some old curtains.

Next I added the body of the dress but it was boring. I cut out a sequin heart but it still just wasn't right.

So I decided to add some stripes to help it look more bug-like. What do you think? 

Barbie Pop Princess Costume

This year my niece wanted to be Barbie pop princess and I of course had no clue who that was but apparently it is the doll above. My sister asked for a purple dress but I thought we could do better than that. Below is the dress I created for her to wear trick or treating.

In order to make the dress practical for trick or treating I added a snap for convenience.
