I'm no professional when it comes to sewing, but I do enjoy doing it. I love to see the finished product when I'm all done. While sewing I could hear Mrs. Anderson's voice telling me..."Don't sew over the pins." "You need to pick that out." "Make sure you iron your seams open."

I wanted my girls to have matching Easter dresses this year, but couldn't afford buying a new dress for each of them. I luckily went to JoAnne's on a day that their patterns were on sale for $1.49! Usually they are around $15.00. I also found some fabric that was on sale. I made the two dresses and two skirts for about $60. I'm pleased with how they turned out.

Samantha wouldn't hold still for her picture, so you get her dancing!
I unpicked different parts of Lexie's dress several times. It pays to read the pattern instructions all the way through, then reread as you are sewing.
Brindley and Karissa's skirts were different styles, but they still look quite a bit alike.
The best part....They actually wear them. They have worn them two weeks in a row to church. (OK, so maybe I told them to). But I didn't get much fight from them. Does that mean they like them?
Since we were taking pictures, and we were all still in our Sunday clothes, we did a quick family picture.
And yes, I'm proud to say, I made me a skirt also. I have been looking for a new one for quite some time. I knew I wanted a red skirt, so while at JoAnne's I found some fabric that I loved. I'm excited to make a couple different ones....now that I have the pattern.
