"Pretty easy for a newbie like me! Mine turned out a little tubbier, and I chose to leave out the mouth because I liked it better that way. My biggest complaint would be that the instructions didn't really clarify how I was meant to sew the ends together. I also personally forgot the leave a stuffing hole so that was on me."

"These are super simple and oh, sew, cute! I made them reversible so they can be turned over after Christmas and used throughout the winter."

"These are cute! I can't get to the pattern because the link takes me to a weird place http//www.howtogal.com/ So dissapointed."

"I've just discovered the same issue with this link. I wish they would at least remove the link. Very disappointed indeed ... I do love the idea of the dress though. It's given me an idea for making a dress similar to this one. I thought I'd find a simple top that I already own and am comfortable wearing, then make a band at a similar length to the top of this dress. I'll then make the skirt by gathering some fabric to the fullness I'm comfortable with, and making it the length I want, then attach the top to the skirt at the band .... I'm sure that it would be easy enough to attach the top to the waist of the skirt .... similar to this pattern. .... voila, I'll have a new dress! For those who love the pattern as much as I do, it's at least worth a try! )"

It's been many, many years since I first learned to sew. No one has ever introduced me to a beginner's sewing machine book. I'd love to have this one to learn those little tricks that make sewing so much easier. The user manual that came with my superb machine is very sketchy with only the very basic of basics--and it misses some of those!
