    Hello! I really love this easy tutorial. Is it not necessary to finish the “v”?

    I’m going to try this on the side at the hem! I’ve seen them pre-made but never thought of doing it myself! Tx for the inspiration.

  4. Sooooo cute! You scored once again!

    Thanks! I’m definitely going to try this. I also like Anna’s idea of doing it on the side hem. Sounds like a great way to get more room at the hip.
