I measured out a jumper that fit Annalilia perfectly |
Two Pieces in the lining fabric |
And two pieces in your main fabric |
I added a bell shape and added 2 1/2". The more length the bigger your bubble will be. |
I sewed the lining and outside fabric for the front and back together at the neck line and top of the straps |
You'll have two pieces each having the lining and outside fabric right sides together attached by the neck |
Sew the side seams of the outside and lining fabrics together |
It should look something like this |
determine which side will be the back, cut down the middle, 3" |
Sew a small strip, right sides facing than flip right side out |
Slip between the lining and outside fabric than sew around the back slit |
Sew the arm holes |
Iron a piece of interfacing into the front to add some structure (photo courtesy of Sophia ;-D) |
Sew a bias, or large stitch, leaving long strings, pull to gather the fabric |
fold in the edge and pin making sure the gathering is spread out evenly, and the side seams line up |
Hand Stitch the hem. |
Add a button |
And take a picture of your teething beauty! |
What an adorable dress Katie - awesome (and a cutie wearing it to boot)!
