It was very time consuming to do - first off the pattern prints out on 24 sheets of paper and you have to tape them all together perfectly . . . after that, everything else seemed like a breeze.But I spent one day assembling the pattern, another cutting out the pieces in the fabric, and a 3rd sewing it all together. I think it would have been way too much to try and get it all done in one day. The instructions were easy for me to follow and I didn't even have to unpick anything and start over! I love it in the red gingham, but I think next I'll try it out of a different pattern.
Here is the back with the elastic and the tie at the neck. The instructions/photos never show a picture of the back, so I thought it would be helpful for anyone who wants to make it to see the front and back. (there are no ruffles on the back - just on the front)
hee hee I made this a week or so ago aswell in exactly the same red gingham! (its on my blog if you want to have a look)I think if I were making it again I would hem the raw edges on the front. It was an enjoyable make though I know what you mean about the piecing. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the pics. I've been wanting to make it for my 7mo. old, only longer so it can be a dress maybe? Thanks for the info! Yours looks so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it could be a complicated pattern! Who is modeling it for you? :)It really turned out very cute.

I'd love to have you!
How cute! I actually have the pattern all taped together and ready for me to start on but I keep thinking its to hard for me to try since I'm a beginner but seeing this and reading what you wrote is giving me that extra push to finish it.
ReplyDeletehi! i have a question for u, a while ago when i was reading blogs i came across an idea for breaking up crayons and then cooking them in the oven. i thought i had seen this on ur blog but can't seem to find it. was it on ur blog or do u know what i might be looking for? desperately trying to find this, wanted to try this activity with my children next week. thanks! very cute top too by the way!
ReplyDeleteI haven't melted crayons before, so it wasn't on my blog - but I've seen them out there too. I just don't know where either. Maybe try a google search.
