I wanted to make the shirt, but wasn't going to hem each of the petals. I was going to do a rolled hem on the serger...seems much faster that way - or at least I hope so, lol!

Well they are all hemmed now. All 28 of them. lol Haven't cut out the hat yet, but at least those petals are lined

I still haven't used a rolled hem yet. Need to do that!

I'm not surprised it took so long! Is it the dress with the poufy sleeves and shirred bodice?

It's the shirt and pants with the cute little flower hat. The shirt and pants both have petals around the bottom.
