I decided to take the bike downtown and get bias tape today so that I could finish Maja's dress. And here it is:



It's little big, since it's size six years, but that will change soon enough. The applique are made with the original transfers, which worked despite being 55 years old. Not that I couldn't have been able to make them anyway, but I wanted to try the transfers.

Both Maja and her new dress are adorable.

You can tell that she thinks she looks very nice! And she's right, too.

Apparently McCall's did this as a mother and daugher pattern; the grown-up version looks like this (http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/McCall%27s_1948). Maybe you can find it through eBay or one of the sellers of vintage sewing patterns.

I think your little girl dress is far cuter...but coffee and donuts! That's hilarious.

The cute is very powerful.

The pattern came with the transfers? Clever.

I didn't walk past any other sewing shops than the Bernina one near you, and they had mostly machine things (I bought the invisible zipper foot :) ), where is it best to go for ribbons etc?
