Description

i finally got the cate pattern right. (ish.) i had to really go through the instructions & make some corrections (many thanks to lauren fortgang & juneann), and made changes to the length, gathering, lining & straps... not to mention my husband's antics...

more at my blog! oonaballoona

Materials

very thin jersey knit, i think it's cotton. at any rate, it's a material that doesn't like so much to be picked apart at the seams oh, say, around 12 separate times. is there any material that enjoys that?

making tiny legs (then the body)!

Beautiful! I love the maxi skirts where the fabric pattern is big enought to change from top to bottom like that. Your creations have such style, Oonaballoona.

sewing ALL DAY LONG

wow, i couldn't believe i had so many comments when i woke up! thanks everybo-dah! the fabric is from my favorite store in arkansas, hancock's. it's a chain but this one seems to be more mom n pop. i took everything they had left on the bolt and it STILL wasn't enough for the skirt! i had to add triangular panels at the side bottoms :)

I think your dress is worth all the effort you put into it. Looks fab!
