| New Hey all! I'm new to yt and pretty new to sewing, as well. I have grown up watching my mom sew but only really tried a few times and when I had to in 8th grade for class. Over Easter weekend I had some spare time so I made two little harness vests. They aren't perfect as I didn't use a pattern...just copied a cloth harness that I have, but I think for a first attempt it went pretty well. I'd say I'm already addicted to picking out fabrics It's just so much fun. I can't wait to try and make some real dresses with skirts, though that will have to wait until after I graduate college in 3 weeks and actually have some spare time. I'm loving looking at all of the creations on here and getting ideas! Here is my Maci in her new harnesses. Excuse the crazy hair in the second one

| Wow I am impressed can't believe these are the first ones you made they look professional. I also like your choice of colors. I have a question did you pleat the skirts or is that a trim you can buy pre done.

| Thank you! Picking out the prints and combinations is my favorite part. The ruffles were a pre-made trim. Hobby Lobby had quite a few to choose from. I had planned to put a little ruffle on the harnesses when I decided to make them but I thought I was going to have to figure out how to make one myself. When I got to Hobby Lobby and saw all the ruffle trims to choose from, I was so excited. It made making them for the first time so much easier!
