Tutorial: “In the Garden” shirred twirly dress for girls

May 2, 2010 by Anne Weaver

Christine from From an Igloo shares a tutorial showing how to make her “In the Garden” shirred twirly dress for girls.  This is such a pretty dress!!  The straps meet at the center back, creating a neat V-shape across the back.  She shows it out of the Meadowsweet line by Sandi Henderson (one of my current faves!).  Get the how-to.

    Made a couple of these for my 8 year old grandaughter last year. She loved them,
    thought she looked like a princess.
    the instructions were easy to understand, and the dresses were a pleasure to make. I plan to make a few more this year.
    Thank you for sharing this.

Sewing Pattern – DIY Beach Towel Bag

If you are like me you want an easy way to carry your towel and a few items to the beach but don’t want a bag just to hold those things.

So I came up with the idea to make a beach towel bag. This way it is a bag that can hold a few items but also function as your towel. I love it! I share with you how you can make your own beach towel bag.

This is an easy sewing project that is perfect for summer! I even made a few for my kids so they each have their own. Start sewing this fun bag today.
