The other day (again at Wal-Mart), I walked passed the fabric area - with zero intent of buying anything - and could NOT resist this pre-shirred fabric! I've always wanted to try to make one...
Does it get any easier? I bought enough material to make both my girls matching dresses. I hemmed it, sewed up the back, added straps, and a flower....
This is the 3 year olds. I've got the 10 year olds done, but hers still needs a flower...
I love those elastic gathers, so fun...
She seems to like it too. With the fabric I bought I will get 2 dresses (including straps), and enough fabric leftover to make flowers for 2 headbands (I've already made a couple of rolled rosettes). Total cost for both dresses and accessories - $18.00. I am LOVING how cost effective sewing can be. I can't think of any store that I can buy this cute of a dress with a matching headband (pictures coming later) for 9 bucks!...
