My best friend is getting married in May and I decided to make my girls dresses as I couldn't find any dresses that I liked.
So, take 2 skirts purchased from ebay for about £1 each (one ladies ankle length size 18 and one ladies knee length size 12):
Add one sewing machine:
And a couple of online tutorials from V and Co. and Ruffles and Stuff, and see what happens!
Skirt #1 chopped and sewn to correct width for H (daughter #1):
Straps sewn and ready to attach:
Attached at the front with ribbon rose trios:
Crossed at the back:
Add some ribbon roses at the bottom:
Finished product (although note this picture was taken before the ribbon roses were stitched to the bottom!):
Waiting for mummy to make her pretty dress!
Dress with sleeves pinned on:
Sleeves attached and checking the length (which needed taking up a couple of inches):
Extra material straight stitched and turned inside out, with some elastic taken from an old ripped pair of pyjama bottoms:
Elastic attached:
Ribbon bows and roses:
Finished headband:
If only she would voluntarily wear it for longer than a few seconds!
So what do you think?
