I was also thinking pinwheel, with the ruffle 🙂 What about Jumprope view B with matching yellow accents?

I always sew this hem on the machine. In fact I machine sew all my hems! Provided your happy with the look go for it 🙂

I have not ( as I line this garment ) but I would without hesitation
I like my play clothes to be tough

I am wondering if anyone has sewn the hem by machine instead of by hand?
