I folded it in half, right sides together and measured the pointy shapes with a quilting ruler and chalk liner. Then I stitched them together, trimmed seam allowances and clipped into all the points - be careful to trim the correct side of your stitching! - and turned it rightside out. Press well. If you can press some of those seams open, they will come out better but they're hard to reach. I also use a metal knitting needle to coax out the points.

I know she would love a "inkerbell" dress, if you get a chance I would love to learn more about how you did the skirt.<br /><br />Mmagonomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268233913257509729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141820454551493236.post-56790264285050412472012-11-07T11:30:23.115-05:002012-11-07T11:30:23.115-05:00Thank you, Nicola!

Much more suitable than the strapless number Tink wears. Absolutely gorgeous work.
