i love this dress and am I am in the middle of sewing it for my daughter. I am a novice/intermediate sewer and while I have gotten everything rather easily so far I just have one question… how on earth do you turn the little half moon pockets right side out after sewing them…. the openings are SO tiny!? I understand what to do but when I get to the point of turning them right side out it is next to impossible…. nay hints or suggetions?

Thank you for showing us the dress. I have a suggestion about the bubble-seams. 1. Stay-stitch just inside the seamline. 2. Start at the outside edge of the seam and stitch two or three stitches past (center); go to the opposite edge and, again, stitch to and just past the center. 3. Now, where the seam “bubbles,” clip to the staystitching just enough to allow the seam to be almost straight. 4. Sew slowly, and use a medium (2.5 or 3 stitch length. I had a lot of trouble sewing curved necklines until a friend showed me this how-to. Cordially, Nehmah

Thank you! it is quick to make to. :) As for my seams.. I have tried everything except kicking the da*n machine around the room.. ;) I will make an effort in the patternscanning-buisness, but as the scanner is somewhere in the basement it might be a couple of days.

It is a really great little dress!! With the under seam I sometimes have that problem too— tension or maybe the bobbin isn’t on properly? Really looking forward to the pattern!!

I am sad to say, I really hate my last seam on this dress, something makes my machine do the underside bubbly and croocked. :( Anyway, This dress was well recieved by the proud new owner. Pattern will be uploaded when I get scanner to work!
