My mom is an amazing seamstress. She made me clothes growing up, and now she's making all her granddaughters adorable clothes. Since having a daughter of my own, something has sparked me to be creative in a new way, and I had an urge to learn to sew for the first time ever. (I never thought I'd say that. Ever.) While we were in Stillwater I had my mom teach me how to sew a VERY simple dress for Harper. It is by no means perfect, but it's a small step in learning! I put it on Harper to wear to church today, and it was fun seeing her wear something I'd made!

So cute! She's adorable, the dress is fantastic, and I love that fabric too! Something about girls makes a mom want to sew :)
You made that in no time with 6 kids under 5 yrs old running around in every direction too-Pretty amazing!
Adorable! I've wanted to learn to sew since having Sarah Kate, but I haven't gotten around to it yet!
you did great! it's so nice to have your mom teach you! once you get the basics down, you can create your own. i personally have no idea how to read a pattern and i dont know how to do sleeves. that may slow my sewing down in the fall! :) cant wait to see what else you create!!
did you make her headband?? it is super cute!!
Leslie, isn't it weird how having a girl does that?! Too bad we didn't have girls when we all lived in the same town!
Marissa, I'm sure if you decide to sew you'll be amazing at it! I still think the actual shopping for dresses is more fun, though. :)
Mica, I can't believe you make your own patterns. That's amazing... We'll see if I can continue this on. I don't know how you find time to make all the beautiful stuff you do. I couldn't believe that little dress took me two hours. I did make Harper's headband. I found inspiration for it on Pinterest.com. It's a highly addictive site. Have you signed up for it?
Harper is beautiful!! And the dress is pretty cute too. Having a girl really has turned you into a different person. :)
UHM, whoa!! Look at you!! I'm feeling a little inadequate now and have an itch to run to le Hobby Lobby!! It's VERY cute, good job!!
Nice work! I love it. (and she is getting so big and cute! I need to squeeze her!)
