Aug. 18, 2008 - More and More Dresses!
Tonight I cut out the pattern for Katie's brown floral dress and then laid all the pieces out on the table. I was able to fit all my pattern pieces with a few inches of material left over. Yikes!
Katie is pleased to see progress being made on her dress. I think it was watching Lily prance around all day long in her new dress that aggravated her! Lily did look cute in her dress. I am really glad I added the ruffle to the bottom. It adds a little femininity to the dress.
I found about 7-9 yards of material I bought last summer in a green and brown plaid pattern and I never got a chance to use it. Well, since I love Rachel's new dress pattern and it was still handy I cut out a new dress in the same 18 months size. I have plenty of material to make Lily a dress, and Katie and I, a long skirt each.
I promise I won't go over board in matching the girls but I love to have 2-3 matching or complementary outfits each season. they usually happen to be the outfits I sew not buy. :)
That's all for now, no pictures for today, I just wanted to update on my sewing progress.
