Hello everyone!
I wanted to share my most recent project, a little girl’s romper/skort from the late 60′s. I used Simplicity’s 8221 from 1969.
The pattern was really easy so I whipped it up in flash! However, I did take a couple days to sew the rick rack trimming; it likes to keep fraying /: Do you have any tips on sewing rick rack?

Hi! I'm Allie, a 21 year old vintage enthusiast. I spend most of my time thrifting, going on random adventures with my boyfriend, antiquing, taking pictures of random things, styling photo shoots, reading, sewing, having dinner with friends, knitting, wasting time on instagram -_- and hanging out at my local Korean bath house.

If the ends are fraying, you could snip them with pinking shears and use Fray Check on them.
Cute romper! I think the rick rack looks really sweet.
Either apply fray check to the ends or use a lighter on the ends to seal it.
