She's 9 & very active and I was concerned they wouldn't hold (even with back stitching).... SO, I sewed the straps in before I put the elastic in, while I was sewing the pocket for the elastic.

However I tried to make the pillowcase dress tonight and it came out ok, but I had a TERRIBLE time doing the arm holes. I just couldn't get it folded down and sewn right. Am I doing something wrong? It kept folding on itself and looking bunched up. Could you provide me some advice? You can email me at kmcfadden@radford.edu if you can help. I would appreciate it sooo much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454718104717091895.post-12176650695400222572009-02-25T10:02:00.000-06:002009-02-25T10:02:00.000-06:00Love it!
