Making a Ruffle-Sleeved Dress

Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at making a ruffle-sleeved dress. Let’s get started!

Hello! Today I’ll be sharing one of my most recent projects: making an 80’s romper. A kid-sized 80’s romper, more specifically.

We’ll start right off with the eleventh page of the magazine. It’s full of advice on manners for that time period. It’s interesting to read, though most isn’t really applicable to modern times.
