Everything turned out just great! The bags were a big hit over on Trevor's PTR. I saw the pictures and the kids seemed to love your pixie dust bags!
The pre-shirred fabric is easy to use and makes some cute dresses. Your bunny dress turned out super. You are really catching on to sewing quickly! And we've all made the same mistake with directional fabrics. You can just tell him the Lightening McQueen is looking up at him!
The simply sweet is a bit tricky to get on and off but is such a cute style. I sew a bunch of them. Once you get to be a more proficient seamstress there are a bunch of modifications that you can do to make it easier to get one and off. You can make the back bigger and shirr it yourself to give it some room. Or you can make the larger size but add a couple of rows of elastic under the arms. A couple of times I changed the bodice to make it corseted.
I will see if I have a couple of pictures to show you.
Here is one that I did last week with the shirred back:
This one has a corseted front:
Here is another one with the shirred back:
I can't find any pictures of the Simply Sweets that I have done with the elastic on the sides. But basically I just make the larger size of the simply sweet and insert a few rows of elastic between the fashion fabric and the lining in the bodice.
LOL! I said the same things!
But they are cute and easy to wear once they get them on.[/QUOTE]
I love the shirred back on the simply sweet. That will definitely be on my list of projects to try down the road
