The pattern is free (!), easy (!), and gives you the opportunity to try shirring by machine.<br \/>\nI used some fabric from my stash and shirred away. The technique is really pretty simple, though I think I might need to make my stitch length longer in the future. I kind of want to shirr everything now, which might be dangerous. Anyway, I cut out the dress pattern in small, but it looked pretty darn small, so I added about an inch and probably would not have suffered had I added even more. So, beware of sizing if you make this dress. It&#8217;s a fun dress, but I have to confess that the shirred section is too itchy to go without an undergarment, and I am not accustomed to such a snug fit. I guess a baggy shirred bodice would look kind of silly, though, wouldn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh my gawd, I made something else!
