When her grandma and auntie got tickets to go to Toy Story 3 on Ice this weekend, Miss M was over the moon! She has a Jessie Halloween costume, but it's nothing more than a one-piece printed pajama-like suit and she's already outgrowing it. She's been asking for a "real" Jessie suit and this seemed like the perfect excuse to sew her one!I used materials I had on hand -- white cotton toweling, yellow quilting cotton, red piping (vintage), red ribbon, and a bit of white felt. Only the buttons were purchased specifically for this purpose. I used Ottobre 6/2007 #19, the "Ollie" shirt. The front "yoke" is nothing more than a piped appliqué sewed onto the front shirt panels! Since Jessie-the-doll's shirt only has two buttons on the front, I used open ring snaps to close it and then sewed the buttons on over top. The cuffs are 1 1/2 times the original pattern piece. The chaps are from McCall's 2851. I shortened them significantly for my wee girl.
Yodel-ay-ee-hooo!
She was the best dressed little Jessie there, if I do say so myself!
That is so cute! It looks like you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteShe makes the cutest Jessie! Love all the details.
ReplyDeleteWith a four year old, the details are very important!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm quite pleased with how it all turned out, though I almost had a disaster on my hands when I had a piece of my snap press upside-down and essentially punched a hole in my button band!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I wish I had those kind of sewing skills.
