Can any one help me with a sewing question, I know this is probably way more simple than I'm making it, however I'm puzzled about it.
My niece picked out some pre-smocked material for me to make her a top out of, and I know it should be super simple to just sew a seam up the back and add straps. However I am trying to figure out if I need a pattern to tell me how much to stretch the fabric or not stretch the fabric. If any of you have used this type of material, do you just pin it around the child and go from there? Or do you stretch is a little so it's not to big? Or is there a special pattern out there that will tell me how to cut it depending on her size?
I think I will just pin it and baste it and see how it looks before I sew it. I'm making her some capri pants to go with it, and though the top should be the easier of the two, somehow it didn't turn out that way.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I think Kristine already answered you, so I would do what she said with the pre-shirred fabric.
I am amazed at the wonderful people here. Thanks for all the offers and advice about my dress problem. You are all just wonderful. I just got an email from the seller. She is so mad at me for filling a complaint. She told me she had no tracking number but now she said she called the postmaster and he has the dresses and he is going to send them back to her so I can't have them. She said she was issueing me a refund.
I bought Grace a few cute outfits from Target this week. I will just let her wear those. She will still have the four customs I made her. Her outfits from target are cute. I am so mad because I ordered some Minnie mary jane crocs . We will get use out of the crocs anyway. I am only ordering from custom disney clothes if I see the sellers name here. I have learned my lesson. The sad thing is I ordered the dresses Jan. 9 and she said it would be no problem to get them to me one week before we were to leave.
Oh come on! I don't understand sellers like this!!! I hope you leave her negative feedback! She deserves it!
