Madison's dress had to be altered from the original. My bias tape was too wide, well not really, I realized I didn't fold it in half again. So out came the scissors and I just cut it all off which now left the armholes way too big. Oh well. It is fine. This was my "trial" dress so I wasn't stressing and she loved it anyway.
I found the hem bias tape at Goodwill like eon's ago. It's been sitting in my sewing box, so I decided to use it up. It doesn't match exactly, but it's fine.
I have had fabric in my cabinet for a while and I never seem to use it. I vowed I was not going to pick up anything new until I used up what I had. {This is my new motto!} I even went to Hobby Lobby today and DID NOT buy any new fabric! I did get bias tape, thread and pins though.
Emma's "trial" dress is green with purple and orange flowers. I had originally had a striped hemline on it but didn't like it, so out came the scissors again! Lol.
So, I'm pretty proud of myself even though they weren't particularly difficult or anything. I just enjoyed making them!
