The lighting isn't all that good in here at night... and excuse the lovely orange/brown shag carpet... it's a rental! lol Anyway - I just made this for Lauren. It's the dyed stripes from Allison, dyed royal blue (color is off in the picture, it's brighter and prettier than the picture). I used the latest Ottobre boy's tank top pattern and just added a skirt to it about 2" below the arm holes. I also made her a pair of little shorts for underneath the dress. I think I did a good job of lining up the stripes... I was proud of that one. Used white ribbing on the neck and arm holes... bound with the coverstitch. LOVE THAT!

That's perfect! :thumbsup: Very sweet!

very pretty! and the stripes look perfect on those shorts! wtg!

That is so cute!

That is super cute! I love it!!

pretty!

That's gorgeous!!! Very Hanna-esque.

So tell me about the ribbing. Did you iron it first (I'm assuming so)? Was it pretty easy with the CS?

So cute :)

Irons and me do NOT get along... so no. I serged the ribbing to the area where I wanted it. I had one of hte seams open, though - so at the neckline, I had one shoulder seam open still. Then I serged the seam closed, folded the ribbing aroudn the serger seam allowance, and used the cs to topstitch it in place.

If that didn't make sense, lmk.

I really like that :)

too cute! i wish i'd gotten in on those stripes now lol

So cute! Love those stripes. I've seen them dyed two different colors now . . . and I'm kicking myself for not getting any. They are really great! :)

Great looking binding too!

very cute! I LOVE the stripes too

great minds think alike because i have almost that exact dress cut out, ready to sew in a pink stripe. no fancy coversticher though. very cute!

That is a great set! WTG! That dyeable stripe fabric is cool. ;cool:

what a nice set. I really need to try the coverstitch version of my serger.

I love the way that looks! Now I wish I would have gotten some of that fabirc! :rolleyes:

that is a great outfit :D
