Fancy dresses

This was a fun, quick little project.  Directions are here, but not in English.  The dresses are made of cotton fabric and felt sandwiched together with Steam-a-Seam.  The buttonhole stitch around the edge almost looks like crochet or lace.  So cute.  I looked on the internet to try to find colored elastic, but then I remembered that I had some elastic headbands in my craft cupboard.  They worked great.  I probably could have used the bands just the length they were, but I shortened them a bit.  I will be making more when I buy more headbands!

PS:  I just found some colored elastic at JoAnn Fabrics.  But I think I still like the headbands best.
