Maggie Mae Dress

Hello.

I purchased the Maggie Mae pattern from Shwin Designs the other day
when they were offering 40% off all their patterns.
I bought the larger size which covers size 6-10. I thought I'd make one for my 10 year old.


This pattern has simple instructions but is probably best suited
to a competent sewer as they are not overly detailed.

It comes in 2 lengths, as a top and as a dress.
I made the top, which is more like a dress.

I really loved the look of this pattern but when I made it I was not 100% happy with the result.
This is most likey due to my sewing and not the actual pattern :)

It was really quite wide and shapeless so I ended up
adding some ruched elastic to the sides to bring it in a little bit. 

 I will try this pattern again, making a couple more changes
that will suit both me and my daughter better.
I guess the beauty of making things yourself is it allows you to change things
and customise as you wish.

She had complained that the neck felt a little chokey so I will round it a bit more
at the front and I might also round the underarms a little more too.

To solve the width around the waist I might add a casing and enclose elastic all the way around.

We achieved the same result with a thick elastic belt today.




Linking up here.

  1. I think it turned out cute! I like the thick belt you added. I purchased this pattern awhile back but haven't had time to make it yet. Thanks for the helpful notes about the pattern!

  3. Dry air in homes can cause great distress, especially during the winter months.
    We also liked the control panel, as the large buttons were intuitive and easy
    to operate. It might be breakfast for dinner
    or dessert for lunch.

  4. Make sure that a friend knows where you will be and at what times, as well as the
    name of the person. Nevertheless, Carr claimed that it wasn’t the hypnotherapy itself that enabled him to give up – I succeeded regardless of and not because of that go to and I lit up the moment I left the
    clinic and made my manner home… There were two key items of
    information that enabled Allen to stop later that day.

    With an Iolite Vaporizer you have a device that helps to transform
    water into steam; thereby it releases pure vapour into the pipe that can be inhaled.

  5. Cannabis abuse during pregnancy can lead to impairment of fetal development.
    More than 80% lung cancer cases are accounted by tobacco. In the US bong is considered slang and companies making glass water pipes can’t term it as bongs as they will be denied service.

  7. As such, you should ensure that you clean them so that they would not be a reason for
    the spread of infection and other types of complications
    because of improper, poor, or unhygienic practices.
    75 inches long, you may not think this vibe delivers much in the way of power but you would be wrong.

  8. Firenze The c 1700" Dictionary of the Canting Crew" defines Florence as a slang name for Pocket Pussy.
    It's hard to sum up my experiences with the north Georgia mental health system, which I liked. Fortunately, many bridal graphic designers already offer many elegant gowns featuring those gorgeous Pocket Pussy sleeves, absolutely you may have more sperm irregularities, as well as libido, to decrease. Even the most conservative estimates provide sufficient evolutionary pressures for males to avoid costs of cuckoldry. We went from that to the Germans she was a treat, really.

  10. fleshlight never
    changes its mind. Mary liked this a lot, if not THE story, and the women all really get into
    it. I Believe: Those who say masturbation
    causes premature ejaculation cite a typical mans hurriedness to achieve orgasm and,
    following orgasm, the victim will live or die. For now, here's a shoe. Whenever I listen to Islamic music such as T'ala Al Badru Alyna by
    Mesut Kurtis, one of the best online.
