And of course Molly is looking so grown up but I've been noticing that the past few months, Mom - Ok, are you ready for this - - - the one I thought looked so much older was your little guy! <br /><br />And the dress designs ARE unique! You just don't know! Maybe you could do a tutorial on making the puffing? And show just making a square piece of puffing and entreduex and lace and then cutting out the yoke? And they would get it - it's amazing to watch girls' faces in class when that light bulb comes on!!!<br />from SparkleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434407033719178019.post-58665796557982639462009-04-16T00:58:00.000-06:002009-04-16T00:58:00.000-06:00****************

When I first started heirloom this was my favorite book ever! She gives you a good basic yoke pattern and then teaches you to add puffing entredeux and everything using the same pattern. That is basiclly what I did I just didn't use her pattern. All you would need then is a lower yoke pattern than the one she gives ( you probably already have one) and you woul dknow then how to alter it. Believe me this book is well worth the money!<br /><br />Hope this helps hun, I hate to feel like I leave people hanging!<br /><br />xoxo,<br />Samantha<br /><br />*****************Samantha Caffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133129791016764766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434407033719178019.post-3367048839456737022009-04-16T00:47:00.000-06:002009-04-16T00:47:00.000-06:00Aargh!

You did a great job!<br /><br />I didn't use a pattern for Molly's dress ( I hate to tell people that!) but you could easily alter a plain yoke dress pattern by just adding the puffing. <br /><br />xoxo,<br />SmanthaSamantha Caffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133129791016764766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434407033719178019.post-54301944302657359282009-04-15T21:36:00.000-06:002009-04-15T21:36:00.000-06:00OK I'm sorry that totally did not work.

I started reading your blog recently and I'm so impressed with the time and thought that goes into the things you've made :-) <br /><br />My daughter turned 1 last month and that marked my first year of sewing, and I've made outfit on top of dresses on top of pj's for her, more than I'd ever feel the need to buy for her. But I've only made a few pairs of pants for my son, and two sad skirts for me! I wonder if little girl clothes are my only motivation, lol? Hopefully as my skills increase, my interests do too!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05128899182019412987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434407033719178019.post-20933618179021051832009-04-15T20:31:00.000-06:002009-04-15T20:31:00.000-06:00Samantha,

I went away for my first overnight with some ladies (I guess now that I think of it...I have gone to church retreats before). It was lots of fun, but it was kind of weird going without my family! We had a blast, though.
