Marillyn's slim fit peasant dress.

I made this for a 5 year old friend's birthday from this free pattern and a new old-stock bedsheet.

I used one of my featherweights to make it, and used the ruffler attachment to gather the flounce.  It gathered beautifully, but the settings were either too gathered, or not gathery enough for this project, so I gathered on the tighter setting and then pulled some out.  It's a bit uneven, but Miss 5 doesn't seem to mind.

New Look 6123

This is New Look 6123 in a stretch cotton sateen from Spotlight.  I bound the neckline and armholes in purchased bias binding, but didn't cut off the seam allowance first, so the neckline sits a bit 'proud' and the shoulders appear a little extended, if you know what I mean.  This is view D, without the little cap sleeves.  

It might have been a bit of a waste doing the flounce in the busy fabric; it blends in, which defeats the purpose of a flounce, really.  I shall have to hold it up and show everyone, and tell them "I have a flounce!"  People who know me will not be at all surprised at such an exclamation.
