I like how the partial sunflower looks like an eye on the mother cat.  Beautiful job!

Beautiful!  How does it fasten in the back?  It looks like it ties but I can't quite tell.

Thinner needles help with this problem, and make sure you always use a brand new needle when you sew with lightweight fabrics.  If it's still puckering, you can try sewing with a thin piece of paper against the feed dogs.  This will keep the fabric from slipping into the machine, and can be torn off easily when you are finished with the seam.

Stitching a row of gathering stitches 1/4 inch away from the raw edge helps too.  Then you can pull in the excess fullness more evenly.

That's a lovely dress.  It looks very 40's, especially those shoes, more so than the original pattern does.  Good job!

Very nice.  How much fabric did you need for it?

You did an amazing job, and I never would have know you used nerf balls if you hadn't mentioned it.  And lucky you getting to go to Anime Central.  I keep missing it and saying "I'll go next year."

Very nice!  What pattern did you use?

Nice job.  The second one is my favorite too.

Good ideas, I'll have to look into what I can get.  I'm sure I can get a shower curtain for cheap.  I know I need something stronger to tie the ends down with.  Would it work to use one of those short bungee cords?
