Cherry Delight, Kammie's new dress I made! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

erino77 · 07-21-2008, 12:36 PM

OK, so this will be my last pic of my sewing for a while, I promise

But I wanted to share this dress I made last week with you all! Everyones kind words with the Mint Chocolate Yorkie harness inspired me to make this the next day.

It is my 1st dress, the only other 2 things I have made were harnesses. I think it turned out really cute, but is a bit to long (about an inch) for Kammie, and at this point I don't know how to fix that yet, lol! Any hints?

Also the skirt ended up to wide because the pleats really throw me for a loop! lol!

Cherry Delight!!......

Way to go Erin! Sewing can become addicting, just ask me...

You have a great model to work with!

Great job on your first dress! If it were me.......I would shorten it at the waistband (yes, take it apart!) and re-do it........but that's just me.

That is a wonderful dress you did. You will get the rest and learn what to do. Its alot of fun to make things for your dogs.

The dress is super cute. That is the best cherry fabric I have ever seen

Carsons Mommy · 07-21-2008, 01:03 PM

Very cute! When are you opening your store?

mscat · 07-21-2008, 01:12 PM

The dress is adorable

Great job !

erino77 · 07-21-2008, 04:41 PM

Thank you everyone for the compliments!! When I saw the fabric I had to have it

It only sat in my house a day before I was itching to make something of it, lol!
I do need to shorten it, but I am just scared to take it apart! I'm afraid I will never get it back again, lol!
Yes, sewing has become VERY addicting to say the least!

Thanks again everyone

Very cute!!!!! If your skirting is hemmed at the bottom, just cut them again and re-hem them to the needed length.

velobabe · 07-21-2008, 05:23 PM

So pretty! You're inspiring me to possibly get a sewing machine and see what damage I can do...probably end up hurting myself

Maybe I'll just leave it to those of you with talent and I'll buy one of your creations when you make more

HAHAHA, I just about fell off the couch when I read that!

See, I have so much to learn from you professionals

What a simple solution, thank you so much Jodie! That is what I will do!

velobabe, I am so scared of sewing my finger

, lol!

It has the boy patterns and I really need to get some things made for Koda, he is feeling a little left out
