| Don't you like it? I had decided not to do anything to sell specifically for St. Patrick's Day. By the time I found this, it was rather late for sewing and listing. You have to leave shipping time, you know! So, I started a dress for 14 inch Betsy McCall from a commercial pattern. UGH! Then I started a Skipper outfit. I may finish it for Barbie. There was my good old vintage dress for Crissy by Ideal. Simple, cute, an ideal (mmphh!) pattern! (Actually vintage Simplicity) What could go wrong? Never ask that! Actually, it's a good question for a lot of situations. A little yellowish stain appeared on the lining. The lining did not line up with the hem of the dress.

Stuff like this happens to me EVERY time I try to sew! That's why I rarely do it anymore. LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour dress turned out cute and I hope it sells. :o)
LOL! Thank you, Bama. It really does something for my confidence when things go this awry! We shall see about it selling. :)
