I found a pattern for cute sundresses where the yoke is made completely in the hoop. I have made several of them. I thought it would look really cute in Christmas colors and if weather is chilly, a shirt could be worn under it. I also wanted to make matching ones for my granddaughter, Olivia, and her cousin, Ella.
I started by making the yokes in the hoop and embroidering their initials on them.

Then I made the skirt and ruffle and attached to the yoke. These dresses turned out so cute.
