I bought a pattern from etsy seller whimsycouture to make one of those criss cross pinafore dresses for my daughter. Before you check out my pictures just keep in mind my sewing machine and I have not been friends for years. I always wanted to like sewing...my family makes all kinds of beautiful quilts, clothes, you name it and they all look wonderful.
So the pattern I bought was perfect for me...lots of pictures with clear directions and it was mailed super quick! I bought fabric, wash and dried it. I even ironed it ( I used to try and get any without doing this step). I cut out my pieces still going well. And then I sewed and even ironed when it said so when it said to.
Here is the finished dress....
I was happy with it. It has no holes and looks like what is supposed. But there is one problem. It doesn't fit. So while I followed all the directions I did not measure my daughter :((which the directions did say to do but she was napping and I wanted to get started).
But I guess that just means I get to make another one.
