I do not have a problem with people/groups using my patterns to make a little extra money by physically making them and selling the items they make.

 

However, I do not permit the selling of my patterns for money. I have once given permission for a booklet to be made of them for a charitable sale and I may do so again *if I am asked* and if it is for a church, charity or school type group. But first you have to ask.

 

Furthermore, If you choose to use my patterns as a money maker, I do not permit my images to be used for any advertizing of your work. You must make your own item and photograph that. These images are as much a part of my Web image as a designer as the patterns are and I reserve that use to myself alone.

Hi, I am trying to make "I need a dress". I am stuck on rows 5 and 6. The arm hole rows. could you please explain a little clearer? I understand the hdc in 8, but after that I am lost. Thank you.

[DesertMom]

I just finished making this dress for one of my daughters. It turned out great! Thanks so much for the pattern. Off to make another one for my other daughter!

[gailandjimbo@verizon.net]

Hi like gramzz I am lost making the pattern "I need a dress" rows 5 and 6 have tried a couple of times but just can work it out. Help

[darski]

Sorry didn't see the questions...

 

on rows 5 and 6 you are going to be working chain mesh/ruffle stitches across the portions that are "sleeves". On row 5, you work across using the usual ch/sc/sk pattern in the sleeve area.

 

On row 6, you will work your chain/sc/sk parts in the stitches you skipped on row 5.

 

so as you work across the row you are:

.working across the back hdc stitches with hdc,

.working across sleeve portions with chs/sc/sk,

.working across the front stitches with hdc,

.working across the sleeve portion with chs/sc/sk,

.working across the back portion in hdc.

 

Row 6 is worked the same way but you will pick up on the stitches you skipped on row 5 in the sleeve portions.

 

I don't have the dress anymore so I can't get a pic of that sleeve section. If I can make another one, I will post a pic of that portion while it is flat.

Thank you. I will be making this for my daughter for Christmas. She is getting an American Doll for her birthday and for Christmas.

Thank you. I will be making this for my daughter for Christmas. She is getting an American Doll for her birthday and for Christmas.

 

This is a great pattern because you can do it in so many colours or individual colours and get a wardrobe quickly. I hope she enjoys the clothes as much as I enjoyed making it.
