New ITH Bodice Dresses for my girls...So happy, I finally figured out how to make the ITH bodices in actual sizes...and they have the entire armhole completed with no bias tape that actually fit like they should...Hallelujah! I have made them in the 8x12 hoop in sizes 1 through 7. I hope they like them!

12185Wonderful! I hadn't seen this before...do you have a website where I could buy this pattern and directions? I do have the 8x12 hoop and the wee ones would love these. Your pics are just so beautiful and I can't imagine how you designed these!

Thanks, Tracey...I designed the bodice to be made totally in the hoop and the design was added during this process as well...

Well, just look at your hoop and you'll know it's impossible. You could probably do ITH bodice for a doll. I have 5*7 too and there's a lot of projects that can only be tiny, for example, the baby bibs in one hooping.

Yes..and I did change up the colors on the little one...pink instead of purple...but the beauty of this bodice is that the center design can be changed out for anything you choose...I chose this one because I thought it matched the fabric well.

38558Wow, they are stunning, well done, definitely worth all the work you put in to making them. Any little princess would love one of these. If you decide to share/sell your designs I would love to be put on your list. Diana :)
2251Would you be interested in writing a tutorial for all of us who have not yet figured out how to do the ITH bodices? You did a very nice job!!

The first ones, the Heirloom dresses, fit okay...the armholes were a bit big, but fortunately not huge..I really like this bodice better because the armholes are completed in the hoop and are no armhole cuts in the skirt and no bias tape to futz with. These also run fairly true to size with any child's dress pattern which is good. Thanks or your comments.

Add me to the list of those who'd be interested in the pattern. I'm sewing a lot for the little ones in my family and this would be great to have for summer dresses. --Sandra

Hadn't really thought about selling the pattern, maybe I should give it some thought..

This is my own pattern that I developed to sew out in the hoop...the last one I did had the armholes finished with bias tape in the skirt portion of the dress...this one has the entire armhole finished in the bodice in the hoop...
