Five Little Christmas Dresses--#1

I now have 5 little granddaughters to sew for.  Hooray!!  Of course, they all got a new dress for Christmas! Here's Macy's little jumper.   I used  Simplicity Pattern # 2292 and just add a few gathers across the top.  It is made from a soft brown corduroy.  Love, love, love ruffles on little girls!  Simplicity featured my project on their facebook page!  Here's the link if you want to have a look http://www.facebook.com/simplicitypatterns

This was made by trial and error!  Next time we have a grandchild, I promise to make another one and write up a tutorial--it could be awhile!!
