Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Dress Making Attempt #2 Hey guys! Well I spent most of the day today working on Katie Scarlett's second dress. As you guys know, I tried last week and it turned out pretty pitiful. LOL. It wasn't even wearable! But with LOTS of great advice and even tutorials from my fellow YT'ers I gave it another shot! I felt a lot more confident on this one today. Now, there are still places I need to improve, but this one turned out SOOO much better! At least it is wearable! Tee hee! I need a lot more pactice, but I have to say I am proud of this one! I am just glad it looks half decent! What do you think?? Oh, and KS says excuse our messy hairs! While Mommy sewed all day, she had full run of the house and played until her little heart was content! She was so good to let me work! She even pottied in the right spot all day long! Yay!!!!! GO KS!

| Wow-Wee....that is a great job! I love the print, she looks adorable in her new dress mommy made for her I can't tell in the picture, but does that pattern have a piece that comes up her chest? What pattern is that I've been looking for one that has a full body bodice, not just velcro at the neck.

| I just noticed where the d ring is...you might want to put it under the bow next time. That way any pulling pressure on walks is put on the girth strap and not the neck strap as much. Just a thought. You did an awesome job...looks like you've been sewing for years!

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Thanks guys! I was looking at it again this morning before I put it on her for the day. One of my armholes seems to be a bit bigger than the other and there is one place on the skirt where I could've done better with the ruffling part. I will try to work on that, but for now, I am pleased. I used this pattern: McCall's 6218 from McCall's patterns is a Pet Clothes sewing pattern It is kind of hard to read, or it was to me. Kathy helped me out A LOT!!! She even took pictures of the steps in the other thread I had posted! I am not sure why, but the top of her dress looks different than mine. I don't know if I followed something wrong or what. But on this dress, it does have the full piece under the bottom, not just the 2 straps. I'll have to take a pic of the underside to share. Bitsy...good thinking on the d-ring! This is where the pattern showed putting it, but I agree with you. I will definitely move it next time. To tell you the truth, I don't think I'll walk her in this one without her regular harness on. It may be an indoor dress. The fact that it has a few boo boo's bothers me. But I am such a perfectionist! LOL!

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Perrella...not sure if you can see this, but look at this picture of the pattern. It kinda shows the underside. The pattern I used is for 'G'.
