Flipped over my doll dress--Connie Palmer- 6-hour machine class
The best way to the heart of your little one is to make her doll a dress. We will be using my very popular
Marjorie doll pattern. The all lace front yoke is easy to make by sewing pieces of lace insertion together.
The skirt lace shaping will be done with flipped over miters; a great way to quickly dress up the skirt.
A ribbon sash and bow at the front waist adds the final touch.
