I've been busily sewing myself and my girls some coordinating summer dresses. Once again, easy Simplicity patterns (they're downstairs and I'm up, but if you're interested I can post the pattern numbers). I was even able to sew the girls dresses without consulting anyone on any of the steps, so if I can figure it out you can too. The best part - their dresses have pockets!! They loved that. They made me wish I had put pockets in mine. Thanks to Brianne and Buff for picking my fabric (from JoAnns) - great choice, fun print. The 2 year old's is a little big - I should have learned from the summer outfits that hers needs to be made smaller, but I forgot and made both girls a size 4. Of course I had to make matching headbands. I think the dresses looked much cuter in person than they do in the picture. Fun to make, fun to wear.June 7, 2009
