"Let it Go" frozen inspired dress - a mouse house creation pattern


The Sew Fab bundle sale is nearing the end (only a few more days to go) and I saved the best Frozen project til the end. I wanted to make a dress inspired by the movie, but not so obviously "frozen"



I used the Norah Dress pattern by Mouse House creations for this dress, and it is part of the Sew Fab Bundle Sale that is going on this week

I sewed the sleeveless version and left off the collar (there are A LOT of options with this dress) so I could have a blank canvas to work with. I Ironed on a large piece of lightweight interfacing on the back of the dress in the area that I planned to do the embellishments.


For the text, I took a fading fabric marker and just wrote out the words "let it go" in a fancy script and sewed back and forth over a few times over the lines (roughly) to make it stand out.






I then embellished the words, with sequins, beads and flat-back jewels, and embroidered snowflakes. I tried to make it as magical and 'snowy' as I could.
You can never have enough jewels right?



I LOVE they way it turned out....not too 'frozen', but a pretty dress that could be worn many times. I also like that they style of this pattern allows for all season wear, as well as years of  wear (she can wear it as a tunic next year)


I also made up a quick headband to match the dress

Here is what I did


You need, a plain or solid colored headband, felt snowflakes and some flat-back jewels, and a gluegun


I used ones that were a thicker felt, I got them off this strange felt banner thing (I have NO idea where it came from....I have the strangest things in my craft room :) ). I just cut them off the banner






I used a glue gun to stick the snowflakes on. I pretty much just kept them to one side and kept overlapping them until I as happy with how it looked.





Then I added the jewels to the center of the snowflakes, and Voila! a pretty snowy headband


And it goes perfectly with the dress....



So go grab you Sew Fab Bundle now and get sewing!

Finally....one last singing collage....how could she not be singing "let it go" in this dress??? :)

  4. first of all i love this! and second i just noticed that your colorblock dress would work perfectly for my idea of a frozen dress for my girl's birthday! I love the norah too, but the neckline of yours would work great for the one i'm picturing which is good cause I've been wanting to make a colorblock dress for awhile anyway :)
