Turn any Dress Up Bunch doll into a flower fairy with this pattern! (I used the Poppy pattern for Rose here.) Guaranteed to make the child in your like think you're magical. Here's the conversation I had with my daughter when I was showing her the new design. . .

Me: See? They'll attach to the back of the doll with a strip of hook & loop tape.

Jo: You mean the wings will be removable? So you can play that your doll becomes a fairy?

Me: Sure.

Jo: Mommy. (*pause here for dramatic effect*) This is the Best. Thing. You've. Ever. Made.

With her wings off she can wear any of the Dress Up Bunch outfits. With her wings on she'll have to stick to wearing the pants, skirts and shorts. That's ok - because the pattern includes instructions for making a sparkly fairy skirt/tutu. :-)

Difficulty

Easy! The shimmery skirt and wings are very easy and fast to make. Seriously. You can make both in less than an hour. The doll modification is also very easy. The embroidered wings are easy - they use very basic embroidery stitches. But they do take some time. Expect to spend several lovely hours doing the stitching.
