Luckily there's a Joann fabric 3 min away so I've been putting my dusty sewing machine to use. I found a few free Patterns online and tweaked them a little. Ive made a dew dresses for roxy. I still have some tweaking to go. No one oxygen is perfect but ive never done this before so they are ok for a beginner. The grey and pink one ended ip being too long around the neck so I had to take in in a bit. It's a lightweight corduroy. The zebra dress is fleece and lined with hot pink fleece. The d ring is too low so I feel like I'm dragging her butt around on the leash. That one needs to go back to the drawing board. But overall I'm pleased with how they turned out. Any advice on how I can improve? http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...1/77f440a9.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...1/ea3637d0.jpg |
I think you did a very nice job! To move the Dring up you might run a piece of ribbon down the middle of the back,decide where you want the Dring and sew really close to each side of it,incasing it in the ribbon (use a zipper foot for your machine). Ive seen this done and the add a bow where the bodice and skirt come together. I dont put Drings on Mina's dresses because she pulls way to hard,Im afraid that the velcro will come undone. I do like the look and convience of a Dring on the dress.
Cannt wait to see your next project.
Oh and as for the person that stole your stroller,it will come back around to them.
