These are both from the exact same Sure-fit Designs pattern made from the Dress Kit. I moved down 2 dots, and I used the knit sleeve.

You can see that on her free webcasts at Silhouettepatterns.com. (No Affiliation)
Here are two videos where I show you THREE GREAT PRODUCTS to make this process super easy.

ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteI happened onto your post through Sure Fit Designs. You are such a delight to watch, you truly are a joy! I've learned quite a few tidbits and lots about products that I had not tried before. Thanks so much for adding education and fun to sewing.
Joy, what a great teacher you are. Please continue your sewing blogs and tutorials. I am learning so much and love the accent! BTW where do you get such lovely fabrics? Anna, Sydney, Australia
