(I don't know WHY Kayla doesn't like to smile, I think she is a happy child lol)
Pattern Description: Girls' tunic and dress have empire waist on front with inset, V-neckline with neckband that overlaps, and ties in side seams that tie in back. Neckband, inset and ties are from contrast fabric. View A tunic has dolman sleeves. View B dress has extended shoulders forming cap sleeves, and bottom edge extension from contrast fabric.
Pattern Sizing: XS-XL I made the XL
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Kayla wanted a simple dress and this is teh one she picked out.
Fabric Used: Rayon Jersey
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I had to really add length to this. I think I added 5 inches to the dress and I made the contrast band on the bottom about 4 inches longer than the pattern. Had I followed the pattern, it would have been WAY too short and YES I'm sure I cut out the dress and not the top lol.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? If Kayla wants this one again I'll sew it for her, other than that once is enough. I highly recommend it.
Conclusion: Kwik Sew patterns are really really great and well worth the money. Love them.

Girl you be sewing your butt off, I still haven't gotten around to making those pillows. I just have so much that's about to be going on I would hate to start something and can't finish it. Ever since my most recent accomplishment of moving to San Diego, I'd like to keep my "things I've started and quit" to a minimum. Oh...I think I just gave myself an idea for another blog post.
Sincerely,
Go

Cute dress, love the houndstooth material. I love Kwik Sew patterns too, with my large family it's great to have them in multiple sizes and the patterns don't tear up.

I am living through everyone one else when it comes to sewing. Time has limited me on getting anything else sewn. That dress is very cute on her!

Great dress!!
PS - I have to force myself into smiling to the camera too,... And I spend most of my day smiling and laughing, but when it comes to taking photos the smile doesn't come out easily
