A few months ago I felt extremely ambitious, and with the guidance and support from a good friend (Alexis Rasmussen) I made my girls each a dress. Alexis came over and helped me get started on the first dress which was Bailey's, she helped me cut out the pattern and lay in out on the fabric and from that point just briefly explained what I would need to do next. I was freaked that she was leaving me but unfortunately kids and husbands had to eat and life had to go on. :) It was so nice having her around, she is such a wonderful friend and great example to me!! So after she left I worked on Bailey's dress and in a few days finished it up. Then a few days after that I had Addisen's and Preslie's done!! It was such a rush, to actually use my sewing maching Jarom bought me 6 years ago for something more that hemming up pants that are too long! :)
Here are some pictures!!






After the dresses, I made Bailey a robe. I decided I needed to put my machine away for a while since nothing else got done for that week or two while I was addicted to sewing. For me unfortunately it's all or nothing. That might explain why when I make a pan of brownies I can't just limit my self to 1!
