Woohoo!!! I managed to make a dress for each of the girls during the Kids Clothes Week Challenge :-) Got off to a slow start with small people not wanting to go to bed and the new series of The Apprentice but I put in my hours over the weekend. Didnt make either of the dresses I had intended to but thanks to a great link from Crafts from the Cwtch I went with a gorgeous shirred twirly dress pattern instead. I now know how to do shirring and from now on I think everything will be shirred!!! and I also learnt how to make a gathering stitch. Feeling very proud with myself and the girls love their dresses :-)
Everyone should give shirring a go - try this tute from youtube
