Hello Cuties, I went with hubby to doctor today and afterwards we stopped by their Walmart. I found this gingham fabric 100% polyester! The group members are packing tomorrow so when we got home, I cut out and made almost all the black one, then we had company come in. When they left, I had to run to pharmacy before it closed at 5, then to a friends to pick up something. Came back and finally got to cut the blue one out and finish both of these. I think they came out cute, don't you? I made both of them for $2.75 and I have them finished, so they can get in the packing!!!
I decided to make a growth hem. See the tuck above the hem? It is done in a larger stitch, so it can be taken out more easily as the child grows. She may get longer wear out of it.
The second photo with the 3 are mission dresses too, just not for the child with the fabric allergy. I don't know who cut the plaid dress out the night we all got together to cut, but not the way I cut plaids!
Last photo are 4 dresses I made my friend Trudy's twin grand daughters, when they came in from Nebraska. They are 8 years old now and don't want to dress alike. I let them choose fabric I had in my sewing room and they choose these.
I am keeping my great-grandson tomorrow.It is the first time I was asked to babysit him and he is 8 months old. Their usual sitter has to go to the airport tomorrow, so that is why I was asked. I had told them before, if they got in a bind, I could help. I didn't want my grandson to have to take off work and she can't miss her classes. Rylan is the one in blue hat and Gus in the white. I had to show you when they first put Gus down. He doesn't like grass for some reason. He will not put his feet down to stand on it and will not touch it. Rylan is just looking at him like,'What's your problem?'-lol
Love the expressions on the boys.
The boys are so fun to watch. I love their expressions too and how they react to each other. Thanks
You cut the dress the width of the fabric and I got the armhole off the internet, for different sizes. Brenda has the length measurements but I need to get that from her. The flutter sleeve is something I came up with for Avery. Are you planning on making some?
