Fall Dresses

I have had a recent obsession with dressing my little girls this fall. I love the current trends and am definitely capitalizing on the fact that hand sewn clothes are in. I LOVE to sew. I love these fall dresses that I made for them and they cooperated pretty well for the camera. I had to share

 I used an old dress I made for Madi the year before, took down the hem and added the long sleeves with the flutter. First long sleeves I have done. It was fun and not to hard! She hasn't complained so I think it must be pretty comfortable.
For Jordyn's dress I had some extra fabric that I sewed the dress with. I added the round ruffle collar that I have seen lately. After it was done, I decided it needed something black. I really didn't want a sash or a flower, because I wanted it to go with the theme of vintage from Madison's dress. Embroidery was the answer. I got some help from a friend and completed my first embroidery project. It has a lot of mistakes, but I am still pretty proud. Enjoy the pictures of my goofy girls.

Anybody else find that loving their kids is a lot easier when they are dressed cute!
