It is time to update my blog since I have been doing so poorly at it lately, just a little busy and have not gotten all the pictures to add with the updates. So I am updating with the few pictures that I do currently have and will worry about the rest later.
So lets start with an what got me to make these dresses. Which is all thanks to a visit from a friend from California at the end of August. Her daughter found out that she was coming to see me and wanted to know if I would make her a new dress, since she can no longer fit in the one we gave her two years ago that my youngest daughter had grown out of. I thought it was cute that she called herself to ask me to make her a dress. A few days later my youngest daughter and I where wasting time before going somewhere so we stopped by the local fabric store and picked out some fabric and a pattern. My friend and her daughter liked what we picked out. Although I had everything cut out before my friend's visit it did not get sewn until after she had left. The first dress is the one sent to my friend's daughter. The last picture is my youngest daughter in her new dress. In the middle is a picture of a doll in a cute little dress. This is the matching doll dress to the dress that my daughter passed on to my friend's daughter. The doll dress had been cut out when I originally made the dress for my daughter but it only just got made, it only took me about four or five years to get around to it after finding the bag it was all put away in years ago. It was my purse project as I call it, a small project that I can keep in my purse or bag and hand sew when I have to sit and wait somewhere. So it was only fitting that the picture of the finished doll dress went with the new dresses for the girls that had the original dress and both loved it so much that they wore it every chance they could until they could not fit in the dress any more. It is also fitting that their girls' new dresses kind of match even though they each got their own version of the dress.
