This is difficult to explain and much easier to show in person, but hopefully you can visualize what I described.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129754906542573682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199658097942744635.post-1824575561924217162010-11-23T08:19:46.692-06:002010-11-23T08:19:46.692-06:00Your tutorial has been my textbook as I am complet...Your tutorial has been my textbook as I am completing my first bishop for my new granddaughter. Things are going well except I don't like the look of my pleats over the shoulder seams. I narrow serged the seam but the pleats look too fat on the top side. What is your secret? Thanks for your great tutorial!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18064202710440619919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199658097942744635.post-719004118414776532010-11-20T06:02:20.597-06:002010-11-20T06:02:20.597-06:00Ta-Da!!!

Thank you!<br /><br />I wish Caroline was still little enough to wear bishops. :*( <br />I may just make one for her AG doll, for the fun of it. <br />Must first finish her Christmas dress, though.

Right now I'm helping a friend get caught up on her orders of ruffle pants so there's no time! I'm thinking for Easter. Thanks again.Southern Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101132263339427001noreply@blogger.com
