We do friend/themed parties every four years. This year was Taylin's 8th. She wanted a fairy party and a fairy dress to go with it. She was specific about her vision: Primrose Fairy from the Fairy Chronicles. I already had so much sewing for Taylin's birthday this year. She didn't know I was working on a quilt for her, so I couldn't explain to her that I didn't have time to sew her fairy dress. Baptism dress wasn't a good enough excuse, because her baptism was a month later.
I had picked up this skirt at the thrift store for $5. I hadn't pinned it's future until now. I could do a quick fairy dress.
I cut it off sleeves (ripped out the tag).
I cut a little off the bodice for fit and trimmed some off the side.
I am not a tutorial blogger, so there are steps missing and pictures lacking. Remember this was a quick fix to make a happy fairy.

I added the cut of pieces to the top to make sleeves. I then used some green I had to make a sash. I also used some of the scraps to make a little flower for the front.

I didn't have to add a zipper, because it was already there. The sash is gathered in the front. It probably could have been a little snugger around the bodice, but again...it worked for her party. Pictures of my Primrose Fairy and her party coming soon.
