I just made the Marissa for my girl as I really wanted to try installing zipper. But I was not sure about the glue stick is it the normal paper glue or did you use a special fabric glue? If its a normal glue stick won't it gumm up the needle? Since I don't have the glue, I hand basted the zipper and later followed your way and it was successful nonetheless! Another question, in the pictures, it looks like you used normal foot, was it easier than using the zipper foot? I really want to learn from you Carla, you are THE Guru! :)Zurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937480867561908524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751957416729779882.post-24737182010342280802011-03-21T21:56:51.633-04:002011-03-21T21:56:51.633-04:00I just made a dress from this pattern for my littl...I just made a dress from this pattern for my little girl this week. I just love how it turned out, but I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about it. Do you mind emailing me privately? I can't find an email in your profile. Mine should be connected to mine. <br /><br />Thank you so much, in advance.<br />Nicole ScottCole's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517634752768025398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751957416729779882.post-20796254437927754182011-03-21T21:33:15.638-04:002011-03-21T21:33:15.638-04:00Love the look of this dress.

I have made both the Marissa and Jamie dresses and truly the zippers took no time at all. Thank you Carla for making it easier! I love these patterns. They were so fun and easy to make and best of all my girls love their dresses!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388766600718679340noreply@blogger.com
