Done!

I am happy to report that it is Thursday night and Anna's Easter dress is done. No staying up late to get this project done. I am really pleased with how it turned out. It makes me mad though that it probably would have been cheaper to buy a dress at Wal-Mart or Target, even buying things a piece at a time with my 50% off coupons. It is a sad day when it is more expensive to make a dress than just buy one. But I guess it is WAY cheaper than buying a dress at a fancy kid's clothes store. Devin keeps telling me that we'll keep this dress forever and remember that it was Anna's first Easter dress that mommy made. For whatever it is worth, I am grateful that I am brushing up on my sewing skills. I am pretty determined to make sure my daughter can have cute modest clothes no matter what they are selling in the stores. This dress actually didn't have sleeves. I feel pretty cool that I just added some using an old pattern.

I finished her little sweater tonight. I especially like the little flowers on the bottom. Not bad. I can't wait to see her in it. Devin has just been itching to do another photo shoot. I figured Easter would be the perfect excuse.
