Description

After watching some videos on line I decided to attempt a shirred dress. I must say it took me an entire day as my mom’s machine freaks out and I had to sew a few of the elactic by hand as thread broke often while sewing. I’m very happy with the outcome, this being the 5th thing I’ve made in my life in the past 2 months. Enjoying my new hobbing a lot.

Material Notes

Voile, elastic thread
