This year, we chose the patterns around McCall’s 7074 for
the little girls and Simplicity 1213 for the
big girls.
Jocie saw a dress—I think it
was a toddlers dress that she liked and everyone approved. I modified the
little pattern by putting an extra stripe of fabric on the bottom, and the big
girls by color blocking and striping the skirt.
EESH!! I don’t think I will be color blocking for a while.
When all was
said and done, the dresses were too long by a stripe, so back to taking some
off each color. It seemed like I was in
Ground hogs day and not getting anywhere with the sewing. It took until the dresses were being hemmed
before I liked them. The tops are lined.
Everyone choose their color—One family
went with a Royals theme..
One with navy.. there will be gold belts and all—you know
how it is when you run out of time.
Two separate fams went with green
I don’t know which is my fav. And I wish I had one…
