Now that I have a Serger, I wanted to make this dress again since technically you should serge around the neck and sleeves, but I made it last season by just zigzag stitching the edges and it held up with little fraying after washing/drying. You can find my original version and review of this Juvie [...]

December 27, 2011 by Leave a Comment
One of the first patterns I used was the Kyla Dress by Frog Legs and Ponytails. I love that it’s reversible which means you have no exposed seams, so if you don’t own a serger (I didn’t at the time) this is an especially great pattern. It’s also where I learned how to make bias [...]
