Fashion Friday

Last weeks defeat = this weeks VICTORY! Last week I was working with elastic thread to create a sundress (a different one) for Mini. I could not get the thread to do what it was supposed to do, no matter what I tried. I searched this week on the internet for suggestions/troubleshooting to perfect this technique and one website suggested switching to a bottom loading sewing machine, such as my older model!! Ta-dah...it worked, who knew?! I'm so glad that I did not sell this machine as I had originally planned. Here is a stretchy festive bathing suit cover-up for the 4th!


This dress is made out of a terry cloth material and I used red thread on the exposed seam to make it more festive!
