I've been planning on making this for some time, although I wasn't sure which I would make the shirt or the dress. My daughter has a lot of dresses so a shirt would be nice. If anyone gives you good hints please post about it. I haven't started making the shirt yet but I plan to soon. I'm hoping the largest size will fit for awhile, she's 2 and can wear a 4T...

"A ball ...Are you using a BALL POINT NEEDLE? <br /><br />"A ball point needle has a straighter shank and a slightly rounded end, enabling it to enter the fabric without breaking the fibers.
