Ok, I tried but didn’t succeed… And I am so annoyed!
I’ve spent what feels like hours working on this bias tape!

Here she is wearing it. Worth it? Oh yes!
It came out darn cute!
It is just a pillowcase-style dress. I shirred the top and added bias tape ties. Use this shirred sundress tutorial to make one for your little miss.
Now, I am off to enjoy our last day of spring break. Yesterday, we had a picnic in the yard, and probably will again today, the kids love it!
