i feel like i'm finally starting to get a bit more of a handle on the itty bitty baby dress, honing the details (just made another almost identical to this to go with the bunting)...
...the last one i made i added a bit in to the straps on the pattern as i felt they were a bit too short to tie easily...
...and then this time i decided to taper the ends of the straps into points from the widest bit of the curve (really wasn't liking those small round ends to sew)...
...and i decided to stitch the bias to the front of the bodice first, followed by the skirt also to the front of the bodice (previously sewn to the bodice lining), then handstitched in the bodice lining instead. didn't take long at all and made for a much neater finish...
...also changed the seams to what i know as 'pajama seams' which look much better - and stronger...
this looks so neat!
