I can't believe I actually made these...

Well, I got the sewing bug tonight and I actually succeeded at making something! I started early with a pattern out of a book for a dress for Hannah's doll. I got halfway through it and realized it was not going to fit at all. Sound familiar, S? So, I put it all away and spent some time with the family and decided to just forget it. But, once they were all in bed I decided to try out the seemingly complicated pattern I had recently bought Hannah for her birthday. Well, it seemed to be going well so I kept going. I finished and it still looked good but the true test would be the try on. I have failed so many times that I really don't expect my sewing projects to actually turn out the first time. So, I was shocked and thrilled when it fit perfectly! I even made an apron by looking at one Hannah has and it worked too. Since I was on a roll I made Grace's doll a dress too. I didn't want her feeling left out and who knows when I will get a chance or the desire to do this again. So, they will both wake up to new dresses and aprons for their dolls. Of course, I often have lofty ambitions so now I'm thinking of making them each a couple of solid colored dresses and some fun interchangeable aprons or pinafores. We just may have to go fabric shopping tomorrow!
