Dora the Explorer's little friend Alana stands big-eyed in a North Pole diorama. Snow is all around her, and Santa's sled, loaded with toys and packages, is right behind her where she stands in the snow. In front of Alana, we see a tiny train on a miniature train track which carries more packages toward Alana, who looks a lot like an elf in her handmade green Christmas dress made of a green felt bodice and a green floral cotton skirt with eyelet trim.

Isn’t that the cutest little elf dress in the video’s cover shot? I really enjoyed making that dress, and frankly, it was relatively straightforward to sew. On my difficulty scale, I’d give it about three flowers (pretty average), in terms of difficulty/easiness. Now this video demonstrates different ways to embellish a dress with ric rac, eyelet ruffles, lace, bias tape, and even a feather boa. … Continue reading Make #Christmas elf clothes w/free #sewing patterns @ ChellyWood.com #Dolls
