Anabel is a seamstress who can sew like a demon. Her one dream is to sew for a princess, but alas, it never happens. Then one day, Anabel is whisked to the castle where she is told to make a dress for the princess for the most famous ball of the year. Anabel is thrilled, until she cannot get a wink of sleep. The hinky pink just will not let her sleep and Anabel is not getting any sewing done well. What is she to do? She tries to make a bed for the hinky pink but nothing works. This is a short but amusing tale based on an old beloved tale.
