Cupcake Dress

Because as soon as I confessed to sewing failure I had the urge to sew!


This is the cupcake dress from the Make it Perfect book.

The pattern was simple and very quick.  Even better is knowing that for the first time I used my new overlocker to finish all the seams properly so I know this dress is well made.  I have not had much of a play with the overlocker yet so it was fun (and a bit frightening!) to use it for proper sewing.

A great way to dress up a cheap t-shirt into a comfy and stylish girls dress.  I will make this again!

  10. Isn't this dress awesome? So cute and so quick to make. The best part - being able to re-use t-shirts that are too short!
