I measured very carefully and worked out I should be making up a 2 slim BUT I forgot to take off the seam allowances when I was measuring – doh! The 2 slim fitted but if I’d have put a zip or button closure in she wouldn’t have had much room for birthday cake so I ended up just using a single heart shaped KAM snap fastener at the back at the top of the dress which was cute and worked out fine, especially as the long ties kept it from gaping. According to the measurements on the pattern I should have been making up a size 3 slim for Little Plush but I was warned before hand that it came up quite big so I decided to measure out the actual pattern pieces to compare measurements and I made a bit of a boob. The pattern comes in 12 sizes ranging from 6m to 10 years and it also additionally benefits from both a slim and regular sizes. I’ve seen some beautiful two colour Peppermint Swirl dresses made up but when deciding which colours to use I was automatically drawn to using a rainbow from Robert Kaufman’s Kona cotton, a no brainer as there are 303 colours to choose from. If you wanted to recreate this dress then the shades I used were Geranium for the bodice, Corn Yellow for the ties, Azalea, Kumquat, Lipstick, Parrot and Peacock (plus Geranium & Corn Yellow) in the skirt. Do not store them in the fridge or freezer.A special occasion dress it most certainly is, each one of the 14 skirt flounces takes a fat quarter of fabric and the entire dress used around 4.5m of fabric in all, pretty punchy for a toddler sized dress! Each of the skirt flounces is made from two curved pieces of fabric and there just isn’t any way you can get the shape of the skirt and be frugal, there’s a lot of wastage (I prefer to think that my quilt scraps have had a boost) but I think it’s worth it for such a special dress. They will eventually harden, but they’ll still be ok to eat. STORE peppermint swirl marshmallows in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks. You can still make the marshmallows, but they’ll be firmer and chewier than intended. Too cooked: The sugar will take shape, but is too firm when pressed with your fingers.It will be pliable when pressed with your fingers, but will still keep its shape. Perfect: The sugar mixture will take shape.Not ready: If the sugar dissolves, or can be completely flattened with your fingers.Every 5 minutes use a spoon to add a drop of the sugar mixture to the water. If you do not have a candy thermometer you can still check to see when the sugar mixture is ready by using a bowl of cold water. Candy Thermometer: Be sure the candy thermometer is inserted to the center of the mixture and doesn’t touch the bottom of the pot.This helps slice through the marshmallows more easily. Easy Slicing: Rub the knife or pizza cutter with shortening or coconut oil.Substitute the peppermint with vanilla, almond, cinnamon, lemon, orange, cherry. ![]() Flavor Substitute: This recipe can be used to make other flavors of marshmallows.The total amount of gelatin used in this recipe is 9 oz which is about 27.5 tbsp or 1 ¾ cups. ![]()
