This is what you should have.

 

 

Step 6- Remove cat from your work area!

 

 

 

 

Step 7 – Take your scraps and find something to use as a guide to cut them in the shape you want them to be. Well, I guess you could just eye-ball it…. LOL  Cut 4.

Turn right side out and press.

Step 10 – Figure out where you want to place your buttons on the pockets. Sew the buttons on.

 

Step 11 – Pin the pockets on the front and sew the 3 sides.

 

 

 

 

Step 12 – Place the front and the back right sides together. Pin the tops of the dress and both sides. Sew them together.  Press your seams.

 

 

 

Step 13 – Open your bias tape and pin it around the neckline and armholes. Sew it in place and press.

 

 

 

Step 14 – Turn a 1/2 over on the bottom, press and turn it in another 1/2″. Press and pin.  Sew your hem and press again! (I pressed the whole thing one more time.. LOL)
