My craftyness or lack thereof





A few weeks late but here they are:

I decided to make the girls Easter dresses this year and let them pick out their own fabric. They both picked out butterflies. So here are the results.
Bridget's turned out a lot better than Amberlee's. I was going to do Bridgets first because I figured she wouldn't really know the difference if I messed up or not but Amberlee wanted me to start hers ASAP so I did. So 2nd time around I learned what not to do.
Obviously I can't work with ribbon yet so I'll stick to simple patterns with no ribbon. Or maybe hand stitching it would have been better. Anyway, maybe I'll make more play dresses/ clothes so hopefully I'll become a better sewer.
Oh well, they still love their dresses so I guess that is good. :)

2 people were amused:

You did such a fantastic job on these dresses. You should be proud and brag about them.

aw, so cute!
i haven't ventured down the path of making "real" clothes yet. i would love to some day, but who has the time to learn? you did great though!
i'm officially going to add your blog to my blog, so i can keep track of it.
i was just thinking about you and thought i'd check out how you were doing (i stopped by myspace first, but it seems like people are losing interest in myspace, i know i am).
