My Anna costume

Hello everyone!! Today I am sharing a simple costume I wore to a Frozen themed birthday party last night! (It was super fun by the way!) It is a very simple one, and not based on one particular outfit she wears, but I am extremely happy with it! In fact I may wear it somewhere else just for fun! My mom again did the sewing... I am not very good sewist:( Yet:) Anyways, here is a sketch I did of the whole thing.

This shows how we put the ribbon on. It would be east to customize the shape and location of the ribbon if you were making one! Or even to tack on some "rosmaling"- applique:)

And here is a picture of the costume. (Sorry about the face, but for the present, I prefer privacy in that area! Thanks for understanding!) And if you notice the white streak... I bobby pinned some yarn up near my scalp and hid it under my hair and then just braided it in! I thought it a nice little touch:)

And one last picture! I hope you enjoy, and maybe this will be helpful if you decide to make your own! I hope to someday make more involved versions of costumes fr/Frozen. In the near future I hope to make over a old prom dress from the thrift store into Elsa's Let it Go gown. If I do, I shall share it on here!!

And while we are on the Frozen theme, check out this blog by a artist who contributed immensely to that film: Brittany Lee. As always, I don't take responsibility for all content, only the frozen related pages. But I enjoyed her post on the costuming very very much! Concept/Character design is a feild I am interested in, and Brittany Lee's art is a huge inspiration!

The Damsel

Purse Pattern

Well, everyone, I am sorry I haven't posted in so long:( Here is an original crochet pattern for you all to make up for it! It is a little purse for kids:) Fun fun fun! My little sister had me make hers brown like Flynn Rider:P


Little purse pattern
I used:
Red Heart Super Saver(on both)

Sportweight sparkly yarn of unknown origin:) On the first
and what I believe was Red Heart Soft(not sure on that either:) on the second one(pictured)
size M hook
large needle(not a yarn needle, as it needs to be sharp enough to sew fabric)
Fabric(at least the same size as your crocheted piece)
gauge-rows 1 through 5 should measure app. 6 in by 2 in
Hold 2 strands together, and work fairly loosely
Chain 25
Row 1--Sc in 2nd chain fr. hook, sc in every other chain across(12 sc)
Row 2--ch. 1, sc in next sc fr. hook,sc in each sc across(12 sc)
rows 3-30 repeat row 2. Fasten off. It should be app. 6 in by 11 in.
Cut a peice of fabric the same size as your crochet rectangle.
Put them right sides together and sew together, leaving one end or both ends open for turning.
Fold up edges with outsides together, and whipstich the edges(only the crochet, NOT the fabric. Turn so the fabric is on the inside, and stitch the last edge closed.
Add a button and way of closing(I used a hair tie), and a strap(I used a long crochet chain and stiched it to the sides, underneath the flap) and you are done! Mine both took about an hour or so(with interuptions). Hope you like it!
