New Christmas Dresses for the Girls (Our Grand Daughters)


Rexa, Mom and I made 4 of these while we were at Mom's.They took quite a bit of time to make, however I think I made the boarder and the Scotty Dogs a little bit to big.
This is part of their Christmas gift ,as they will be wearing them for a Christmas Program on the 23rd.
My sisters girls are in a school play .I gave my girls theirs early and they love them ,both wanted to wear them that day.
I still need them to try them on ,hope there will be no changes!
We still have to make a bow for the neck ,I better get to that soon too.

Two New Seamstress's In the House !


Saturday Sarah came over saw me cutting out more things to sew up. She decided she wanted to make a Blanket and Pillow for the new doll I gave her for her birthday.
I was going to sew it up , she looked so interested in the machine that I decided to let her try and she did a good job!

Then her older sister Chloe came over saw what she was doing ,so I let her try too.
This is the blanket and pillow, yes they are simple ,but I had already put the hearts on them ,however it was Sarah's idea to put them on.
They both did a good job, I plan in the near future  to show them how to sew a 1/4th seam with quilt squares ,maybe they will want to make a quilt  too.

Sarah's 7th Birthday Skirt and Extra's

Skirt I made for Sarah's 7th Birthday
Was unable to rotate the picture , it is a new blouse to go with Skirt .

The red head doll I brought at "Christmas on the Square "in Live Oak ,we saw both the dolls at a booth I made the comment that this doll is so cute and looks almost like Sarah, well my sister said get it, I really didn't need to spend the money but brought it anyway ,then this blonde doll I said looks just like your grand daughter you need to get one too. Haha 
Anyway I was not too crazy about the yellow leather skirt so I made a pink one to match the pink in her hair.
 Sarah's birthday way on the 8th and she loved everything I made her and the doll too.
