What a fantastic resource this book would be. I know that soon I will be moving from sewing for my grandchildren into more sewing for myself. I would love to have such a reference tool.

This looks like a book filled with delightful projects for my sweet Little Precious! I have one granddaughter for whom I have sewn since she was about 6 months old. She is now about to be six, and I can just imagine the fun I would have trying some of these projects. My sweet MK loves her MiMi-mades....in fact she prefers them to all her other clothes. She is a girly girl and enjoys the fun I try to add with embellishment both in the form of coordinating fabrics and machine embroidered appliques, monograms and designs. It becomes a bit harder to sew to please our sweeties' tastes as they get a bit older, but I intend to "grow up my sewing" right along with her!

As a former Fashion educator, this book would make a welcome addition to my fashion library! Thank you for this opportunity to enter the give-away.

Debi, I just used a straight legged pants pattern for the pantaloons. I drew lines where I wanted the ruffles to be with a washaway marker. After narrow hemming the two upper ruffles and gathering them, I sewed them RST to the legs with the ruffle pointing toward the waistline along each marked line. Then I pressed the ruffles down toward the hem and top stitched them in place, thus encasing the raw edges. By encasing the raw edges like that, I had to allow at least another 1/2" in length for each ruffle. The bottom ruffle was simply sewn to the bottom of each leg, the seam serged, and then top stitched to hold the ruffle in place. I hope I explained that so that it makes sense! If not, I'll try again. :)

Thank you so much for your very kind compliment!
