DIY Felt Dress Up Dolls Series: Belle

Belle is Brie's favorite Disney princess. Hers was the first dress I made, which was a mistake. I should have saved it for last so I could have learned from the other dresses first. Anyway, for the whole series, I sewed before I actually made the pattern so whatever I saw needed improvement are fixed in the patterns I made.

This is what Belle looks like when assembled.

I originally got the shoulders wrong. That's fixed in the pattern.

I glued the shoulder piece to the torso then glued the top skirt to the bottom skirt.

I don't have step-by-step pictures for the "hook and line" that I made. It's very simple: get a tiny magnet, put it in a piece of cloth, sew it sealed, then tie a ribbon on that and onto a chopstick. That...

DIY Felt Dress Up Dolls Series: Snow White

Brie hasn't actually seen Snow White. Can you believe that? It's on the list. She knows Snow White because of her 5-Minute Princess Stories and because of her Disney Princess Duplo Lego Set. I sewed the puff sleeves but I highly recommend gluing them on like Cinderella's puff sleeves. I just wanted to see how it would turn out sewn. This is what Snow White looks like assembled.
