Easter 2009




This year with the help of my mom I made Katelyn's Easter dress.

It all started when I went over to my friend Megan's house for a baby shower. She told me that she had made a dress for an upcoming family wedding. Megan assured me that I could make the same dress. After weeks of thinking about it I finally bought the pattern and the fabric.

To complicate things, I decided to make dresses for my sister's girls also. That meant 4 dresses in 2 weeks.

I could not have done it if it wasn't for my Mom. She helped me along the way. When I sewed the bodice together for Katelyn's dress, she would sew Brooke and McKenna's bodice together. So in the time it took me to sew Katelyn's dress she made three others. She had great patience with me. Thanks Mom!!

Anne was so sweet to make these clips and bow to complete the outfit. Love them!
