Christmas Elf!

 So, instead of doing the Cindy Lou costume

for the Christmas party,

My daughter wanted to be a Pink Elf from Rudolph!

Here's the motivation:

this worked great, because I had tons of pink material!
I had some quilted lining too...so I made a pointy stiff hat.



 For the top...super simple.
folded over rectangle, sewn up the sides,
arm holes left...circle cut for neck.
all cut edges hemmed.

 simple.  yes.  that's my middle name.

 8 same sized panels for the skirt.
4 inches across the top.  Room for hemming.

 all 8 panels sewn right sides out...then flipped
and sewn right sides together.
(invisible stitch or something...)

 full flared skirt...ready to sew onto the top piece.

  ta da.

add a fur collar...

Completed and at the Christmas Party:

(what?  so I failed and didn't get a pic of her by herself...so sue me!)
