Blessing dress

When we found out we were having another girl I knew that I would have to make another blessing dress for her (because you know how girls are,"what mom you didn't make my dress but you made one for Lilly?) I made Lilly's and it was one of those things I had hoped not to have to do again for awhile. There were many tears shed on Lilly's dress. I'm an ok sewer but I'm not perfect thats for sure. Especially when you are dealing with tiny baby clothes. But I decided to make the pattern easier, with Lilly's it was all from scratch and it was very frustrating. I get how I want it in my head and I go with that and sometimes its hard to make.


This is the new dress that I made for our new addition!

This is the new dress on the left and Lilly's on the right. I made this dress a little bit longer than Lilly's. Lilly was so tiny that it really didn't fit her.

I just really hope my girls appreciate the dresses when they are older!!

update

So these past few weeks have been a little crazy. First, Nate and I went to Utah for his cousin's wedding, we drove out on Friday, were there Saturday then drove home Sunday. My parents watched Lilly for us, Thank you!! BUt it was nice to see them get married where NAte and I got married. We hadn't been back since our marriage. Then when we got back NAte's younger sister Ashley and her two Kids came to see us for all of last week. We had a great time checking out everything we could in Denver. Someday's were cold so we just hung out at home but the girls loved playing. So I took some pictures of the wedding but I didn't take any pictures of Ashley and her family (i'm really bad at taking pictures). But hopefully in the next few weeks Ashley will send me some and then I will post those.
