shirt dresses

Before:


After:



I have been doing lots of sewing the last couple days. I have really had a good time. You should have seen the room - a disaster. It was fun, though. I even had both of my sewing machines going! Anyway, I made these dresses based on this tutorial. I made several changes to Caroline's dress and (obviously) resized things for Sara's dress. It was definitely an adventure - my first attempt at clothing. Caroline requested purple (of course) and chose between the two purple scraps that I had. Also, the flower on Sara's dress was made using this tutorial. (Can you tell I like tutorials - free!) They wore their dresses to church this morning, but I wasn't able to get any pictures. I'll have to try to get some next time...keep an eye out over at the Moseley Kiddos Blog.

Super adorable!!!!!!!!!!! I love the coordinating, but not matching styles & I love the purple fabric you used for the highlights. :-) Well done! I'm not sure how you are having the time, but hey!

Elizabeth, Caroline picked the purple from two scrap pieces that I had.
