Ruffly Bum Cover

I did it! I made the Ruffly Bum Cover!

This is the first one I have ever made :)

I used grosgrain ribbon in between each ruffle, see the second photo below.

I made two mistakes on this one... The ruffles are on the front, so Shay is wearing it backward. Oops! And it's one size too big... According to McCall's measurements she should be a medium..

In the last few days I have made a few tops for little Shay, each one was too big. Though they are the smallest sizes available... I'm ready to be done with McCall patterns. The sizing is pretty off... It's really frustrating after spending hours and hours on these adorable outfits, just to find they don't fit. They're too big for Shay and too small for Lilly.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

I'll show you some more of my creations in the next few days.

I was hoping to show how the ruffles run into the seam with this one, but it didn't quite turn out.

I wish I was able to capture a photo of Shay standing while wearing the outfit... She just moves too much now, lol. I had no one to hold her still so that I photograph her that way.

Maybe later.

What is your favorite crafty thing to create?
