Making the Bodice of your Bow Dress Organizer

Part I.

Making the Bodice (Top of your Dress)

Step 1:

You need your cardboard and a marker.

On you cardboard, draw out the shape of the top of your dress.

I chose to use an old box, in case I made any mistakes, I had more cardboard I could use.

Step 2:

Once you have drawn the top of your dress on your piece of cardboard,

it's time to cut the top of the dress out.

Step 3:

Place your cardboard dress top on your quilter's batting.

Step 4:

Cut your batting into a large square around your dress top.
You want to have enough to cover all the sides.

Step 5:
Apply a generous amount of glue on the front of your cardboard dress top.
Place the side with the glue centered on your quilter's batting.

Although you see a glue stick in this picture, I advise using you hot glue gun for the entire project.
It took me 2 glue sticks to really stick the cardboard and batting together.

Step 6:
Glue the batting to the sides of your cardboard dress top.
Then glue the batting to the bottom of your dress top.

Step 7:
Cut out a little piece of batting (either triangle or rectangle shape)
between the cardboard straps of your dress top.

Step 8:
Fold the remaining batting around cardboard straps of your dress top.

As you notice in this photo, you can still see the cardboard through the batting.
If you are going to use a sheer or lacy fabric, you will want to add more batting.

Step 8.5:

Apply more batting to just the top of your dress top

if you are going to us sheer white or lacy fabric.

Step 9:

Lay your fabric down.

Then place the front (the side with batting) of your cardboard dress top in the center.

The front should face the fabric, the back should face you.

Glue the sides of the fabric to the back of your dress top.

It's okay if the fabric doesn't completely cover
the entire back of your dress top.

That part won't be noticeable when its hanging.

Now, you are done making the bodice of your dress.

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief. 2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
