I am so excited and proud of myself. I found a tutorial on a blog (rufflesandstuff.com) for this adorable Summer Dress! Ladybug's dress is made from one of Daddy's old dress shirts, and Snickerdoodle's is made from one of her big brothers' old shirts. Ooooo, I am just so excited to share it with you all.
As I was sitting at my sewing machine last night, I said to my Hubby, "Two years ago, did you imagine I would enjoy sewing so much?" I don't know what has happened to me, but I really enjoy sewing. I feel like I really accomplished something by making these cute dresses. It also helps that Ladybug really likes her dress.
A couple notes about the pictures...yes, Snickerdoodle's dress is wet! As I was finding my camera to go take pictures, she got a cup of water and tried to drink from it, and spilled it! :p And, yes, I think Ladybug's dress is a bit on the short side, so she will be wearing leggings or something like that under it. :)

I love it, love it, love it!!!! You did such a great job!!! Had you done the shirring before? (the gathering stitch at the top) I bought the elastic thread to do it bit my sewing machine won't go more than 10 stitches without the thread breaking with regular thread right now. I'm having withdrawls. :)
I'm really proud of you, they look great!! What's next do you think?
This is WONDERFUL!!! I so want to learn to sew. You did a great job. Can you teach me and my girls how to sew??? I'll pay you $5 a class. :) Love you all so much.
Thanks!! :) I had never done the shirring before, but it seemed simple enough. I asked my friend, Katie, and she said it was really easy.
Sure, Jenn, when we are neighbors, I will teach you and your girls. ;)
