Kim I was just wondering how much fabric do you purchase at a time when you plan to do enough for all 7?

Ahhh, the big question...it depends upon what type of dress I am making...But, sometimes the fabric quantity dictates the style of dress, especially if I am short on quantity..For these, I had 5 yards of blue and 2.5 yards of print...Just a bit left over. If the skirts are full then 2 yards each for size 4-7 and 1.5 yards for 2-3 and about a yard for 6mos-1 give or take...

Thank you!

These are so cute. I can tell you that when the girls are old ladies they will be saying, "Remember when we all had dresses the same?"--my sisters and I do just that as our Grandma made us matching dresses every summer and we loved them.

Thanks..yes, two boys...they usually get shorts and T-shirts...still working on those...

Cute dresses. But my first thought was, this woman is wonder woman. How does she find the time to sew, then I read some of the comments and saw that these are your grandkids. I am sure they will all look adorable on the 4th.
