More customs for sale, and sewing stuff

Okay, I have a few more items for sale.  I think I'm going to save the remainder and list when the weather warms up.  See the post right before this one for information on shipping, etc.

----------

Princess Maxi Skirt

$28

Very good used condition, worn 2 or 3 times, the fabric is high quality so it doesn't easily fade.

Best Fit Size 5/6

Measurements:  Waist - 19.75 inches unstretched, length - 21inches

I used a high quality non-roll elastic for the waistband and there is a secret opening on the inside of the waistband which allows a seamstress to easily alter the size of the waist.

Minnie Dot Animal Kingdom Dress

$29

Good used condition, I believe this was only worn once, no stains or rips but there is some fading of the black on the zebra fabric.

Best Fit Size 5(ish)

Measurements:  Bodice width (chest) - 23.5 inches (there is no elastic in the bodice but you can tighten it with the ribbon), length - 27 inches (from top of shoulder strap to bottom of rick rack)

Circus Skirt

$13

Very good used condition, I believe this was only worn once, no stains or rips.

Best Fit Size 5(ish)

Measurements:  Waist - 20.25 inches unstretched, length - 11.5 inches

I used a high quality non-roll elastic for the waistband.  This would look super cute with a Dumbo top.  I think the fabric is out of print now too.

So that's it for now.  In the future, I may open up for some custom orders.  Obviously, you'll be the first to know if I do.

Of all the sewing projects I've tackled over the years, I'd never sewn a drawstring bag.  This one was sort of an experiment to come up with my own pattern and may become part of a Christmas present.  I had "dance bag" in mind when I was making it because it can easily and quickly be opened and closed and I don't have to worry about a stray shoe tumbling out as the bag's being swung around and then left on the stairs at home.  (True story.)  But now that I have Disney in my head (posting these clothes AND the girls are already asking for another vacation), this bag would be cute to carry autograph books, Mickey ears, water bottles.  Having your kids carry their own stuff is a game changer.

I thought I was so clever using shoelaces for the string part of the bag.  The bag is fully lined too.
