She cut and pinned...
She worked, sewing the elastic thread, to create the stretchy gathered bustier...
And now she is so proud! Her first hand-sewn dress! She is ready to show it to all her girlscout friends this afternoon.
I have to say, I am impressed! She now wants to make an identical dress for her older sister, Miss SockPixie, so they can wear them together this summer, when Miss SockPixie comes back from France to vacation with us. I am afraid, with another dressmaker in the house, the fabric stash is only going to grow!

WOW! I thought we were talking doll's clothes when I saw the title. I am impressed Miss Sox Pixie.
what an adorable dress and how cute that she did it herself, and what a pretty young lady!!!
Adorable and amazing! Great job!
I was about her age when my grandmother taught me to sew shirts (horrible 70s smock-like shirts....I loved them!). I remember this vividly as the best part of my childhood.
I hope Little Miss Sockpixie gets as much enjoyment out of these lessons as I did!
So impressive and cute! I was much older when I first started out sewing, but I remember making those exact dresses as well.
omgoodness what a little star you are miss sockpixie, I think you are amazing, well done ;0)
She has a very good teacher! She is on her way to being a seamstress!! The sundress is pretty.
Beautiful. How do you use the elastic thread?
Thank you all for your comments. With regards to the use of the elastic thread, it is very simple.
Wind the elastic thread on the bobbin by hand. Place the bobbin back in the machine. Chose the color thread to match your fabric, and with the right side of your fabric up, sew straight lines!
Happy Crafting!
Great! Thanks! Congrats on such a crafty little pixie.
