Make another line of running stitch 3 rows under the star pattern.  Next make a line of criss crosses using two rows and then finally add one more line of running stitch.

When putting Rosy’s skirt on you dont leave any of her tummy showing

NO STRAPS NEEDED FOR ROSY

It is the same as Rudy but only go to Round 16.  Again taking the last two rounds out to make her a little shorter
