Description

    I love this pattern and how it lends itself to variation. Thank you for you instructions. You should at a “make-it” tag to your project. Any hints on achieving the bubbly? I assume you lined with with a shorter, narrower piece to get the hem to bubble.

      Because I added the instructions at a later time for some reason it didn’t update. I put elastic in the hem to draw up and make the bubble.

      Cool, I posted several days ago but it didn’t show up in techniques so I thought I would spread the word.

      Thanks, that pattern is so easy to alter. I did the sketches for the original Malissa. It wasn’t exactly as I imagined it but it still a wonderful dress to play with.
