I made these two dresses from the same pattern as the last two I posted. The pattern is from You Can Make This.

Can You Tell Me How to Get to Sesame Street?
Yes, it's another dress from You Can Make This! It's the same pattern I used for the candy corn dress, but I didn't do any stripwork. Instead, I cut a rectangle 15"x45" (the width of the fabric) and ruffled it using my ruffler foot for my sewing machine. (This is a size 3, by the way. You'd have to make the skirt longer or shorter depending on the size you make.) I did the same thing for the ruffle at the bottom using two strips that were 4"x45" and sewing them into one long strip before ruffling them.I also added a tie belt for the back using scraps of the yellow fabric. I didn't even measure them, but they came out just right.
Elmo was a bit of a challenge. I'd never used applique with embroidery, which this design requires. I think he came out ok, considering he was a first!

Candy Corn, Anyone?
I finished this dress this week and I love it! The pattern is from You Can Make This and was easy to follow. It even contains full size patterns in the download!
