The polka dot Eric Carle fabric ...Hello and Thanks! The polka dot Eric Carle fabric was purchased from a Etsy shop, just search for Eric Carle fabric there and several shops should offer it. The applique was made by cutting out basic oval shapes from green fabric fro the body and a red circle for the head, then using iron transfer paper to adhere it to the white dress before giving the edges a quick stitch with my machine to finish them. As far as the actual assembly of the dress, I mostly made my own pattern using another store bought dress as a guide for sizing and the shirring method used here ( http://www.made-by-rae.com/2013/08/tutorial-shirring-with-elastic-thread/ ) to make the top portion. The rest of the dress is just simple assembly with a 'wing it' approach that seems to work in my favor- I am NOT good at sewing from a pattern! Sorry to not be of more help as far as the construction goes!
