I made a dress! Yes, a real honest-to-goodness dress, using a pattern and everything! It promised to be really simple with mostly straight lines and only take an hour, so I decided to go for it. If you can't tell, I'm quite impressed with myself. :) I mean, I've done a bit of sewing (usually just Halloween costumes), but never with a real pattern. Mostly, I just scribble something out, sloppily trace it on to fabric, cut it out, start sewing, and hope for the best. And they always turn out fine, but only for one night's use. But with this dress, we may actually get more than one wearing out of it! Now Blair is requesting one, so another trip to the fabric store is in our future.

so cute!! I am thinking of trying to make Joshua a cape...but I need a sewing machine first....I am very impressed and that dress is ADORABLE!!
I've actually ordered from Etsy a soft felt book that you can make...by hand or machine (obviously I did it by hand). The person sends you all the materials and you put it together. I really liked doing it!
Once again, I read your blog and am so impressed. Maybe you'll inspire me to pull out my sewing machine. The dress is super cute. I love the ribbons over the shoulder. I can't wait to see Blair's dress.
Did I get you hooked on Etsy? :) You are saving all of these adorable girl's clothes for your new niece (the one that doesn't have a name yet) right?
