Thanks "Mom"...I loved the fabric but could only get a couple of yards from the last bolt...so I had to stretch it to make them all...

Thanks Leaha...The last little one (for the baby girl 3 weeks old) I made on my new serger...the old one died after six were completed...
by Leaha 14 Jun 2014
Aha... the old one died from lack of 'timing'...and the new one steps in and saves the 'timing'! Gottcha!!!!! :-O}

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.

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.

Kim I was just wondering how much fabric do you purchase at a time when you plan to do enough for all 7?
2 comments
by dragonflyer 15 Jun 2014
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...

Thanks Kim for the info, I appreciate it!
