I finally finished the sew-along dresses. I am definitely doing this again! I enjoyed seeing the other participants’ dresses in each stage of their construction. I learned a lot from others and had sew much fun. 😉
Day 1 was cutting fabric.
Day 2 was constructing the skirt and doing the hems.
Day 3 was to make the straps.
Day 4 was to make and attach the ruffles.
Day 5 was to Shirr the bodice.
This was my first time shirring fabric and it took me a while to figure out how to do it on my Brother machine. In fact, I may do a little tutorial on shirring with a Brother in the future!
Now the final photos are due and there are 4 prizes to win. Fingers crossed!
Here is my final entry photo collage.
Mama Can Sew 
Seriously impressed!!
Thanks! Me too. 😉
The dresses are beautiful…and so are the little ladies!
I really hope you do a shirring tute as this is something I want to learn. I don’t have a Brother machine, so hopefully I can adapt the instructions.
Thanks for sharing and my fingers are crossed for you to win!
Thanks! I will see what I can do about that tute soon!
Oh my goodness Breane! I love your fabric choices. and the girls are precious in your dresses. You are an AMAZING sewist! come and look at the little swimsuit coverups I am doing on Bibisews!
Thanks! Those swimsuit coverups are too cute. I might have to try to make a couple this summer for my girls!
Beautiful! You’ve only been sewing for six months but have fearlessly accomplished so much! I’d love to see the shirring tut. I want to learn how do that!
Thanks Michelle! Do you sew as well? I will get on that tut eventually. You know how it is 😉
Darling!
