    That is so cute! You should send a picture of that to a fabric designer. I would definitely buy that fabric!!

    WOW, you made a beautiful outfit. Lots of people don;t realize the time and work involved in work like that.

    Nice work. It must have been fun to do. Perhaps another one would be possible and have DGD help.

    This process is so easy actually a child could do it. The important thing to remember is to draw words and letters backwards.

    What you do is you get a large roll of paper. You start drawing and coloring. I am sure I used some coloring book pictures. Once you have your roll of paper covered and you are happy with it, you take it to the ironing board where you have washed, dried and ironed the fabric you want to use for your project, then you turn your designed paper face down on your cloth and press your images onto your fabric. It is easy just a bit time consuming. It does take patience and a trial run would be advised. Other than that it is pretty simple. Once you have your fabric covered, you cut our your pattern and sew it together. I picked a more difficult dress pattern but there are some really simple "Kwik" patterns that would work just as well. Try it! It is really fun. Could even do a pillow case or something less difficult.

    So pretty, must have been hours and hours involved. It really would have been a nice keepsake, hopefully someone else enjoyed and appreciated it!
