Christmas Dresses

Only three Christmas dresses this year and all the same pattern! Simplicity pattern #8755 is quick and easy!  I used stretch velvet.

Anna's Birthday Dress


Not the best picture, but I do really love this little dress!  It is McCall's pattern #6915. This pattern is super easy, but I do think I liked it a bit better made from a little heavier knit like this.

Sparkly Skirt and Sweater

My granddaughter requested a sparkly skirt for her birthday so I made her a very simple skirt and of a washable fabric and a cute little sweater to go with it.

I used Simplicity pattern #1332 .  It was a pretty easy pattern.  I also made a matching outfit for her doll.

Border Print Dress

I saw this beautiful fabric and knew it was just what I needed for another granddaughter dress!  I made it pretty simple to show off the pretty embroidery.  It has buttons up the back.

Simplicity 8349 Tweaked Just a Little

Here is Simplicity Pattern 8329.  I made this dress just like the pattern with the addition of a 1" band and some piping to length the bodice.  Of course she needed a matching dolly dress!


Doll dress is Simplicity 8360.  Both of these were pretty easy to make.

Bouncy, Stretchy and Twirly!

My granddaughter said that this dress was bouncy, stretchy, and twirly and that she loved it!  What more could you want in a dress!
I used Simplicity pattern #6538.  I made no changes to the pattern.

Just in the Nick of Time

Only the binding left on one of four little quilts for the bunk beds where our grandkids sleep.  I used the same fabric and pattern, but didn't worry about making them exactly the same.  I hand quilted one of the quilts and then used the other three as a good excuse to practice with my new Bernina Stitch Regulator.  

Time to concentrate on prom dresses now!

Six Little Dresses


I made this cute dress six times this Christmas.  I Didn't manage to get pictures of the last couple.






I think the girls look adorable in their dresses, although the youngest (not pictured) doesn't like "those things on the sleeves!"  I told her I'd make the ruffles smaller or take them off.  She's still trying to decide!
