Let's Rock & Roll!!!

Yesterday we sewed our pretty little shorts together and today we will be adding the beautiful ruffles! Here's my piece with ruffles ready to be ironed and gathered. Start back on page 8 and iron the ruffles.

Gather according to page 9 and 10 at attach according to page 11.

After attaching my ruffle I went ahead and added my crochet trim for some extra fun!

Isn't that GORGEOUS! This will add so much to this piece!

This is what you will have when you've finished pages 8 - 12.

Sew up your sides as noted on page 12. Now we're going to make room for those baby bottoms! For younger ones there's extra you will cut to make room for diapered babes.

Stitch those bad boys (girls) up in the crotch making sure to go over the seam a couple times for strength and wearability.

Now is the time to add those CPSIA tags! Compliancy is Cool! I'm trying to come up with catchy jingles on why EVERYONE, not just hobbyists, should be safe and compliant in their clothing making. :) It's easy and important! For more information check this group out, CD Compliance. They cover compliancy all over not just cloth diapers.

Look at those gorgeous beauties you created!!!! And it was so quick and easy? A nice break from the little more difficult Fly Girl! You've completed pages 1 - 18! You go girls!

You deserve this child tested and approved cupcake for your achievements! :)
