Aug. 16, 2008 - One Dress Down . . . 5 To Go
As I posted here, I intend to sew each of my 3 daughters two dresses, matching each other.
I took afternoon rest time and John's good humor, and made Rachel's dress. I spent 3 hours, reading the pattern, learning how to use a zipper, making bias tape for the neck, hem and arm holes, and just sewing the dress together.
Overall the pattern was simple to follow. It did require a zipper which I have never done before but I was determined to learn. A zipper has to be one of the easiest closures I have ever put in. Much easier than button holes I think.
The only problem was that Lily started demanding that I make her dress next. :)
Rachel was so confused by her long sleeved shirt, which by the way I picked up at the thrift store for $.75 a few weeks ago. Gotta love The Children's Place.
