I made a Summer Picnic dress for my girl. The free pattern
Summer Picnic Dress Pdf pattern I used from The Cottage Home Blogspot
and it includes a great tutorial.
I didn't do the top-stitch since I didn't have enough time yesterday.
I made the dress for my daddy's 60th birthday party.
For next time I will use another method with the ruffles on the bottom.
I would gather ruffles by the hand, not the sewing machine.
However the summer dress turned out cute.
