Attempt at dress making without a pattern

    Attempt at dress making without a pattern
    on: September 14, 2009, 12:43:27 PM
    My daughter is in a horse phase and we found some horse material that she loved.  Immediately, I knew that I wanted to make a jumper style dress with a bib front featuring one of the horses right in the center.  Even though it is a basic style, I didn't see any patterns out there like it so I decided to give it a go without a pattern.  I am pretty pleased with the results and might get a little more daring now without patterns (but only a little!).

      It looks perfect!  I especially love the matching hair accessory.  I would say- go ahead and experiment some more.  Your results will be original and your very own.  How great is that?!

              Three cheers for going pattern free!  In my opinion, that's the best way to sew.
              Your jumper is adorable.  Good job.

                    The "twirlability" photo made me smile!  Ahhh, the joy of a skirt that twirls. Gorgeous!
