Reversible Dress Part 2

Today we worked on the reversible dresses.
We started by stitching one side seam





Then we made the reversible ruffle. I recently bought a ruffling foot for my Kenmore sewing machine and I love it. It saves so much time
and makes a perfect ruffle.






After we made the ruffle we attached it
to the bottom of one layer of the dress.


Then we sandwiched the ruffle in-between the two layers
and stitched along the bottom of the dress
and along the top from the open side seam
to the other open side seam.
We clipped the curves so everything will lay flat when we turn it.
We then reached in between the two layers and pulled the side seams on the right to meet the side seams on the left. We lined up the armhole seam and the bottom seam and stitched around leaving a 3" opening to turn everything through.
We turned it right side out, pressed it and hand stitched the opening closed.
Today in the time between customers we were able to finish three of the dresses.
Aren't they cute!
