Serendipity

Bella did some sewing over the weekend. Whipped this out in no time. She made a mock one first and figured it out.
True confession: I've never put in a zipper before. Still haven't.
She just read the zipper directions and sewed it in. Who knew?

She made this little flower by gathering and winding it around.


It's the Monique Dress pattern by Serendipity Studio.
The fabric she used is Nicey Jane.

I'm glad the girls tackle sewing projects. Sometimes they don't happen at the most convenient times, but really when does the most convenient time ever come?

  3. Oh my gosh corrie, it is beautiful. You know if you look on youtube you can get great instructions for zippers. It really isn't that hard. But you know that. Knowing and doing are different.

  8. CJ, that's funny. I agree with you. Meant to take a picture of the back. Her edges match up & everything. Yes, it was an invisible zipper. There's a little zipper tutorial on serendipity's site.
