Also how do you match the front curved side skirt side seam to the back skirt straight side seam piece before you sew the side seams. Sorry I must be dense. So far looks good. ?Thanks for posting this.Raquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016635539485384219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993630339709873004.post-11486007287318667962016-08-01T15:13:32.024-06:002016-08-01T15:13:32.024-06:00We always use the edge of the pressor foot as our ...We always use the edge of the pressor foot as our guide.do it yourself divashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875115038711045949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993630339709873004.post-14920741191086527782016-07-30T17:22:38.868-06:002016-07-30T17:22:38.868-06:00What size of seams did you use on the dress?What size of seams did you use on the dress?Raquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016635539485384219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993630339709873004.post-35188393142612495322016-02-08T07:59:51.751-07:002016-02-08T07:59:51.751-07:00These are the same instructions for the green dres...These are the same instructions for the green dress.

My question is, when you pin the front to the back, do you match up the square back to the rounded corners, and then just sew a regular stitch along the original basting stitch? Thanks in advance.

This is only the 2nd thing that I've made for myself, I usually sew for my daughter. I had nightmares of me messing up the basting and not being able to pull it over my head so I used elastic for the waistband instead using the same measurements. Even my husband was impressed. Can't wait to wear it to work tomorrow. I'm thinking about making a short version with a nursing top I don't really like to use throughout the postpartum period Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556100334232757246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993630339709873004.post-67527356278544616322013-08-23T16:22:49.020-06:002013-08-23T16:22:49.020-06:00That is an adorable dress!
