I haven't done a yoke for so long- and I think this was my first button band like this one. Very handy dress to practice a bunch of good techniques- Loved "stitching in the ditch"! thanks so much for doing this.<br /><br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03383074708709274952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-14289810293411208482010-05-30T02:29:36.412-04:002010-05-30T02:29:36.412-04:00I finished it and I love it...I like that this was...I finished it and I love it...I like that this was a more tricky pattern You were so helpful with the questions and I was able to easily figure out the things that I was having trouble with. I could easily make this one again with some variations too! This was never a pattern that I would have chosen and so I am so glad that I learned how to make it!

Pin it. Take it off and sew down the sides. <br /><br />If you put in pockets you'll have to either rip them out and start over or get rid of them.<br /><br />As far as problems go, it's a pretty easy one to change.

So, I am worried to take it in because I am still learning to make my own cloths. What I do? It is too big around the waste and hips. I look like I am wearing a boxy night gown;(Brenbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610781370321229182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-26264085070737457752010-05-29T14:44:44.602-04:002010-05-29T14:44:44.602-04:00I love the fabric you chose!I love the fabric you chose!Andréannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353216093204782749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-30785798901586827992010-05-29T08:33:44.839-04:002010-05-29T08:33:44.839-04:00Your version looks great!
