puffy slips

Book:  Girl's Recital Book

Sizes:  100 cm, 110 cm

Fabric:  Bemberg lining, netting, cotton batiste, cotton/lycra, fold over elastic

This is just like Marie' made but I attached them to a fitted tank because their pot bellies couldn't hold the slips up evenly.  I highly recommend a gathering attachment for this project.

This was a beast to sew up, but it is well worth the investment in time and fabric.     

Easter Dress

Book: Girl's Recital Book

Size: 130

Fabric: Wal-Mart mystery (content unknown) fabric.  Poly/cotton? The right side had a shiny sheen to it, so 

i used the wrong side.

This book is a little tricky, but the result compares to a boutique made, custom fit dress. The book gives you 

the basic bodice and sleeve pattern you can trace off of the back side of the dust jacket. Then you make 

adjustments using your child's measurements with the help of their diagrams for each dress. You also 

have to draft the skirt parts. It took me one evening (about two hours) just to draft the patterns, but again, 

my patience was well rewarded.
