Oh how adorable!!!

Well, the first one, and the last one should probably be called nice looking, but . . .

They all look so wonderfully fresh!

I'm having a hard time visualizing this particular transformation. :mrgreen:

The finished dress is adorable.

I took the long sleeves off the dress sz 4. Sewed them together so I had one small piece of fabric. Layed the panties from another leotard over the fabric and traced around it. Beginning to think I should have taken pictures. Wasn't wuite wide enough to go around so... I took the leg hole pieces and added that to the sides. Then sewed the panties inside the dress where the skirt joined the dropped bodice.

Awesome

My favorite is the happy bright yellow and orange dress, I think. I liked all of them. Cute idea when a dress is too short

grammy17 07-16-2011 08:17 AM

Both dresses from same McCalls pattern. I trace the size I need onto another paper so I can use the pattern again. Sleeves are interchangeable.

The older I get (71) the more I enjoy. I'm no longer afraid to try anything. If it doesn't work, I can always cut pieces for a quilt.
