My son is in 7th grade and started a language this year. I was excited that he chose German as I studied German for many years and even hold a couple degrees in German.

Jumper Before |
For extra credit, he can attend the Oktoberfest happening this weekend and next. As I was trying to find out more about the event, I saw many pictures of participants from past years. There were some young children in Dirndls and Lederhosen. I thought a small girl here might like a Dirndl too.
I wanted this to be a quick project, so I started with a jumper we already had. While looking at my ribbon selection, I didn't see exactly what I wanted. Starting with a strip of felt, I tried out my different decorative stitches. This would make up the sides of the ribbons which would crisscross.

After looking at my stash for a floral print, I was happy to find this green floral. It was leftover from kitchen valences from long ago. The leftover piece was the perfect size. I sewed it together and gathered the top edge.
First I added the decorated felt and ribbon, then I cut the jumper. The gathered skirt went on quickly and finally I sewed a hem at the bottom.
