I've been in a sewing mood lately and it's a good thing, too. I figure I need to make sure I really know how to sew before my mom leaves because I always come running to her to fix my mistakes. I decided I would start with a simple dress for Hannah. If I start simple and have success I'll be much more likely to move on to a more difficult pattern. So, here's the SIMPLE dress I made for her. There was no zipper and not even real sleeves. The material was cheap and the easiest thing I could find to work with.
It went pretty smoothly - I did everything on my own. The only problem was when I read the directions wrong and cut the main dress piece in half, so there's a seam down the middle, but oh well. Other than that I was pretty happy with it. Now...I'm thinking something with a zipper for the next project.

Very cute. Sometimes I think simple is better. It will be adorable with a little white bow in her hair.
Madison wants to make almost the same dress but with 3 different materials -- one for the sleeves, one for the body and one for the skirt. We saw one at a craft boutique selling for $50. Unfortunately I am going to have to piece together a couple of patterns as I couldn't find any in her size. I hope it works out. :)
That is so cute! Way to go! She will look darling in that!
Cute, I'd get that pattern from you, except Bailey needs another dress like she needs a hole in her head.
