I had an itch to do some machine sewing, so I decided to make Easter dresses for my granddaughters. I took the three that live close to me to the store to pick out the pattern they wanted and the material to make it. It was so cute to see the three little girls, Dot (8), Lucy, and Lexi (both nearly 7) choosing what they wanted. I had already taken Dot and Lucy before, but it was Lexi's first time. Dot and Lucy chose the material for Annie's dress and I already had the pattern for it. The pattern that Dot and Lucy chose had a little purse pattern, so I made purses for each of them with some of the extra material. I bought the hats, but since Annie's head was too small for the hats, I made hers. There was a pattern for a hat with her dress pattern. I had a hard time getting it to be the right size, but in the end, it does fit. She just doesn't like to keep it on for too long. I have two other dresses made for my granddaughters who do not live here, but I will wait to post them later. I chose a simple A-line sundress for them and bought sweaters to wear when the weather is too cool for a sundress. Here are the final results of what they chose.
 |
| Dot is so skinny that she added the belt. |
 |
Annie in her beautiful yellow. Her sisters said she loves yellow
just like her grandma. |
 |
| Lucy loves pink. |
 |
Lexi chose a totally different pattern than her
cousins. She wanted a sun dress, so I had to
buy a sweater for her to cover her shoulders.
