Fairy Dress

I'm trying to get this project finished, but I haven't been in the mood for sewing for so long.  It's a fairy dress for my 2yo great niece.  I used blue as a change from the usual pink or purple, but I upcycled a perfectly matching zip which was an invisible zip, but I have never used one before and I made a hash job of it.  So out it came, and I'm having trouble buying a regular zip which even remotely matches the blue.  I really miss Needle and Thread.  Maybe I should learn to use an invisible zip.

  1. So glad to see you sewing again. What about Frank's at Devonport? They might have a blue zip to match. I haven't tried sewing an invisible one before so I'm not much help, sorry.

  4. Try some velcro - much easier for alittlie to get in and out of!! And much easier than an invisible zip (you need a special foot for them so it is not your fault at all!)_.
    Hugs, xxxx
