This is adorable! What a creative way to refashion the skirt! You did a beautiful job!

This is so adorable!! You did a beautiful job. I can just see my 4yr. old niece in a dress like this. Thanks for posting the photo. :)

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have been married for 27 yrs. to my hard working hubby, have 7 beautiful children, and have been home educating since my oldest (now 26) was 4yrs. I have been sewing since I was in grammar school. I never had lessons but muddled my way through and continue to learn something new every day. I have recently learned to crochet and have reacquainted myself with embroidery. I also love to read, research, and teach. Seeing the joy and excitement someone, especially children, gets from learning something new is a thrill for me.
- What type of sewing do you enjoy?
- garment, drapery, home decor, quilting, cross stitch, embroidery, hand sewing
- What type(s) of sewing machine(s) do you have?
- I have a Viking Huskvarna Constitution 200, which I've had for 21yrs. and has just recently gone on the blink, but I think it's only the power cord. I need to get it checked.
My mother-in-law gave me her old Bernina 2000DE overlock, which I still haven't completely figured out. It works but has some quirks that she is apparently familiar with, but I am not. :)
I also have a Huskylock 1003 LCD which I bought off of Ebay, but again, I'm trying to familiarize myself with it. I have never used sergers before, but have a goal to work on these machines this summer. :)
- What brands of patterns have you tried?
- I have always found myself buying first Butterick, then McCalls, and occasionally a Simplicity pattern. I have yet to try Vogue or Burda.

Question - I don't know where to post it.

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether or not I need to pre-shrink nylon tulle if I am using it for a skirt?
I've used it for crafts and costumes before, but never for a skirt. I've actually searched the internet but have not been able to find an answer for this question. Any comments or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Ags

Robyn said… - Hi Alie,
I drew your name in the garment-fabric swap. I'd like to ask if you have any special requests or perhaps any special dislikes in fabric. I wouldn't like to send you something you hated!
Best,
Robyn

YarnJourney said… - Hi Alie, sorry it took me all day to get back to you. The pattern number is 3544. I made some patterning changes, added facings for sewing buttons and buttonholes. Also for some reason the style lines at the shoulders of the apron are different on the pattern pieces and the picture on front of the envelope. The real look is shown on the direction page though. I smoothed out the line to get a look more like the pattern envelope.

- Hi Alie, the apron is a Simplicity pattern. It is one of their retro reissues. I don't have the number right now. Do you want me to look it up? Joyce
