Snowman Dress – Crafty Biggers

 – White shirt in your little one’s size. Make sure you pre-wash it to prevent shrinking
 – iron-on interfacing
 – White fabric (I used Cozy Fleece)
 – Plaid coordinating fabric
 – Buttons to make up your ‘snowman’
 – Needle and coordinating threads

I found these Snowman Buttons in a pack at Joann and used a 40% coupon to nab them for a deal. You could use individual buttons or fleece to make up the same design. Use what you have on hand.

To start, grab you flannel and cut out or piece together a piece that is 8 inches wide and long enough to fit around your little one and tie. My Abby wears about a 4 so mine was 8″ x 38″. My plaid was a small scrap so I had to sew 2 pieces together.

Now for the dress part. Start with your shirt inside out. Iron on your interfacing where you will be sewing on your buttons. I make a black box to show you where. White on white is hard to see.

Now turn your shirt back to the right side and position your snowman buttons to create a face. I just used a pencil to lightly mark in the button holes so I wouldn’t lose by place. Next you just grab your coordinating threads and sew on your face.

**If you have a little guy you could stop at this step and have a cute snowman shirt instead of a dress. **

Turn your dress right side out and you are pretty much set. You can top stitch the waist if you want and hem the bottom. I tried to hem Abby’s but she insisted that I leave it be. It’s her birthday not mine.
