A first for me

A few weeks after we moved in, my mother-in law got the sewing bug and decided we were going to make dresses for the girls. I am always up for a sewing project, so we picked out some nice 60's patterns and chose fabric from her stash. Not sure what decade the fabric is from, but I am going to guess 80's. Anyways, this was my first time making baby/children clothes. Don't mean to toot my own horn, but I did a pretty good job. Luckily my pro sewing mother-in-law was there to help and not let me screw it up. :)

Here is Calle Lily in the final product. I'll have to get a picture of both girls in their matching dresses.

So cute! I love making little girl dresses. They are much more fun than those little baby footie jammies. Those are no fun.

You are awesome! Reminds me of the costumes you used to sew and you made your own patterns!

You did a great job on that dress. I can't believe that's the first dress you ever made.
