I have always been envious of my mother and her amazing seamstress abilities. Even my little sister Leah has turned into quite an amazing sewer. (she's even made a few wedding dresses!) I look at other people's blogs where they showcase their crafty talents and I long to be able to do even a fraction of what they can.....and then yesterday....I was cleaning out some old storage bins in our basement and I came across about 135 yards of fabric that my mother bought for my wedding. Only my little niece Laken actually got a dress made out of it. The rest has been neatly packed away for the last (almost) 10 years. So I decided to do something with it. I decided to make my girls their Easter dresses. I don't like tooting my own horn but TOOT TOOT TOOT! Now, don't examine the seams too closely. It's certainly not perfect, but as close to it as I've ever gotten. I made Avery's dress over the weekend from a modified pattern I came across. Then I added the flower collar, which is my FAVORITE part. seriously...couldn't be more pleased with it.
