Hello All!
How are you? I have been sewing off and on throughout these November weekends and actually finished two more dresses for our upcoming Disney trip. I officially stopped sewing however for Disney until all of my Christmas projects are done and mailed out!
So I made a dress for both girls with a few ruffles which I did by hand. I do have a ruffler that I usually use, but decided to do these by hand! I used the same pattern, Simply Sweet by the Scientific Seamstress. For the ruffles, I simply doubled the width (of the back skirt) for the ruffle strips, folded and gathered three rows of ruffles. I pinned them on upside down and stitched. Then flipped them down, pressed them and topstitched. Then I assembled the front and back skirts at the sides as usual. Easy but more time consuming than usual.
Next I made a dress for Devon. She wanted one with Tinkerbell and all of her fairy friends. So I found a bunch of different appliques and sayings and arranged them on the front of the dress. Again, I put lots of ruffles around the back for her with some cute purple Tink fabric! I took these pics after work and it was already dark!
The bodice says I Believe with Tink and Peter Pan...
Here is the back with all of the ruffles!
And there you go! I have managed to make some outfits for Thanksgiving. But I will show those in my next update! Have a great week! Its going to be raining for a few days! We need it!
Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Safe journeys if you are traveling!
God Bless,
Cathy
