Valentine's Day Preview

I did the math and determined if I made dresses for the girls to wear this summer, I could really save us a lot of $$ on clothes. Fabric is between $2-$4 a yard and a yard will make the girls a dress. And outfits even at Wal*Mart are at cheapest $7 each. So I decided I would make them clothes. Anyway, enough rambling, I got an easy pattern to start with and decided to make then Valentines Day Dresses! (See below). I also have 2 more that I just need to put the buttons on, and 2 that still need to be sewn together, it's just a matter of finding time during the week to get it done. Probably it'll have to wait until the weekend, but that's okay, the way things are going here it'll be forever before it's warm enough for them to be worn. After I finish these I'm starting on their Easter dresses (I got a little more complex pattern with gathering and a scalloped hem.) Then I might even try making some capris and shirts sets or just find a slightly different dress pattern. Anyway, here's the first of my collection! A little camera shy

Crazy Rogue kept running around and it was impossible to get her standing still in the dress, but you get the overall idea!
