Skip The Tucks!

For the reader who asked, "How do you adjust the Dedication Bubble pattern to fit different size tucks" you are in luck since this post explains a little more about the pattern!  Several of my newer patterns, including #126 Dedication Bubble, are designed so that the tucks are sewn into a square piece of fabric then the front pattern piece is pinned on top and cut out.  This gives you the freedom to use the tuck guides included in the pattern, make up your own, or make a plain bubble as shown above.  I know that you are now asking if the Dedication Bubble can be made plain, why is it not shown on the pattern front?  An excellent question, and one that I have no answer for except that it didn't occur to me at the time!    

The bubble is made out of white linen with the Blanket Stitch edging the collar and sleeve.  The duck embroidery design can be found in the "Heirloom Embroidery Book."
