Extended Ideas
To make a moo moo: With brightly flower print material cut out two pieces (30"x20") for each moo moo.
Sew up the (30") side seams to within 12 inches from the top. Separate the material and fold over the
salvage edges of the
(12 inches) side seams and sew each piece to finish the edges of the last 12 inches. Hem the top and
bottom edges. (it should now resemble a large tube) Lay the dress down with side seams to outside and
tie the ends to form knots
at each shoulder leaving room for little arms to go through.
