Watch this spot. I'm working on a tutorial for Pin-tucked Strip-Piecing. This is a technique I used to make the skirt on the little dress below. I'm using it to make Skirt #22 and thought I'd go ahead and take pics during the construction process so I could share the how-to's.
And you can see a little of the pintuck detailing here...
PS - Allison asked about the photos in her comment attached to this post. No, I did not take these photos. Several years ago I had an online children's design business. I sold mostly on Ebay, but did some private custom orders as well. There were quite a few Moms who were regular customers of Ebay designers. They would often be so generous as to take photos for designers' portfolios. These photos were part of a large collection featuring Ebay model, Sarah, and taken by her mother, Stacey. Isn't she adorable with those dark curls and big eyes? I think she was about 3 years old at the time. She's probably gotten to be a big girl by now! These photos were taken at her grandparents country club somewhere on the East Coast. They ARE beautiful, aren't they? I have about 20 more and each one is exquisite!

Wow did you take those photos, they are amazing! And I also wanted to add that you are doing such a fabulous job with your hundred skirt project.
Gorgeous dress and thanks for the tutorial.
Gorgeous dress, and the sleeves are so neat! Are they buttoned on?
Thanks for the tutorial. I really learn something everytime I read your blog!
Actually, it's a halter dress with a bolero jacket. The bolero jacket's side seams have little elastic loops and pearl buttons. It was too small of a seam to effectively do the normal way. I might have a pic of the bolero in a close-up. I'll look and if so, post it.
