I used a tutorial from  Viola & Pearl  and found out not only does the dress look cute, it is so simple to make that even a novice sewer like myself can whip it out in no time. So, I am not going to provide you with a tutorial because Viola & Peal really do a great job. But I am going to show you the finished product! I sewed the Cinderella applique on by machine. It was a bit tricky but not hard.   In the end, sh...
