Twelve Gifts of Christmas 2023 #3

Greetings, dear Internet~Land! I hope your December is beginning well. This post has Gift #3 ~ a lovely Waterfall Gown Pattern Set that includes the gown with a waterfall style overlay on the skirt, a waterfall style cape, and optional fairy wings. Because the pattern pieces are too large to fit onto 8.5×11 inch paper, the pattern has pictures showing how to assemble all the pieces before you begin cutting fabrics. I think when I make my own version of this set, I’ll also make a beaded head piece. I’ve made fairy wings before by tracing and coloring the wing design onto clear acetate. Because SD BJDs can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, these wings are made of four pieces per set. To attach the wings together, I will use some white wire twisty-ties. Then I’ll feed the arms through attached clear rubber bands and loop the bands around the fronts of the shoulders. The cape can be sewn with a solid back, or you can sew it with a slitted center back so it can fall to either side of the wings. Enjoy & Happy Sewing!
