Birthday dress for a friend's daughter

The pattern for the summerdresses, Schnabelina's kapuzenkleidchen is really very versatile, it can be made with knits only, top knits and skirt woven material or woven material only (with buttons / zip somewhere). This time I used it for a winter version: knit for the top, corduroy for the skirt.

The dress is really easy and normally fast to make, but this time I almost wrecked my two sewing machines. First the embroidery (from emblibrary) went wrong and everything was blocked, then the corduroy broke one of the needles of my overlock, then the overlock went completely crazy. I managed to finish the dress and I found the reason for the behaviour of my overlock: A screw is missing! No idea where it could be and how it could get lost without me noticing it, but I guess it should be easy to fix.

So here is the dress. The colours should be orange or red - so it's both, which should be perfect, the theme princesses or elves. I took a princess.

And now another entry to creadienstag!

Schnabelina's Kinderröckli for Creadienstag #96 and Meitlisache

Another German blog project is Creadienstag. Here your creativity is not limited to sewing and you can post anything you made yourself not only things FOR yourself.

For some time already my older daughter wanted to get a new skirt. Since she liked the summer dresses à la Schnabelina so much, we went for the Schnabelina Kinderröckli. Unfortunately, with the first version  I made a mistake and took the pattern for knits instead of woven material. That skirt will probably go to my daughter's best friend, who is very petite and should fit into it. So I had to do it all over again and this time not only with the right pattern, but also with one panel a bit more embellished. My daughter loves it!

Since it's a really girly outfit, off we go to Meitlisache
