Shirred Dress Encore

I realized after I posted last night that I didn’t get good shots of the actual dress I made with the shirring.

Good shots of Little Miss MM.  But not so good shots of the dress.

So tonight before dinner I snapped a couple of up close and personal pictures of the dress so you could get a better look at it (…and the cutie wearing it).

Oh, and to Kimberly and Lisa: I used the same thread tension (a “2″ on my Huskystar) and I used the same stitch length (a “2″) that I use when sewing everything.  I would pull my fabric taut as I sewed to keep the stitches even, which was harder the more rows I sewed because the fabric got more and more gathered.

As far as machines, I have a Huskystar 219 that I do 99% of my sewing on and a Janome Memory Craft 9700 that I do my embroidery with (I could use it as a sewing machine, but I like to “save” it).
