Do I do this to myself?
18 yards of fabric
3 different dress patterns
40 buttonholes
40 buttons
2 spools of thread
1 dull pair of scissors because I sent all our good ones up with my brother-in-law to BYU-Idaho to get them sharpened for a buck a piece
and a WHOLE WEEK”S WORTH OF SEWING.
I tell you this is the very last time I am sewing six Easter dresses all at once. Next year the older girls have to sew theirs themselves if they want one. I have a funny suspicion they’ll be sewing simple skirts.
They all looked beautiful I must say. This photo was taken after church right before they all tore into the house to change. I think they took after their mother in that regard. Can’t stand to have a dress on for longer than is needful.
Special Dark got a new outfit too – red checked shirt and khaki pants but he fell asleep on the way home from church and I was NOT waking him up for a picture.
They do look beautiful! You did great. There are some moments (like right now after reading this!) when I’m so glad I don’t have girls! Because I know I would be doing this very thing and totally stressing out. I have a sewing project for me right now, but I knew there was no way I could get it done by today so I didn’t even try. Of course now there’s no kind of deadline, so hopefully it will see the light of day eventually.
Wow you are ambitious! I would never have even attempted anything like that. They look beautiful! I should sew for my kids more often than blessings, baptisms and Halloween.
You did a great job. I have a tendency to blank out when I look at a sewing pattern that involves more than 2 pieces. LOL.
Have a great week!

You are amazing Monts.
You do it because you can’t help your awesomeness.
You do it because you love them and because they look absolutely beautiful.
Period.
SO cute!! You are talented!
Great work! And that is not simple sewing… collars, plackets, buttons! Two dresses about did me in last week.
Your girls look so cute though and I’m sure they will be capable of sewing their dresses next year.
Huge congratulations.
Wow! You were busy, busy, busy. The girls all look so cute.
My daughters and I can’t stand to be in dresses longer than is needful either. 🙂
The picture won’t come up on my screen yet so I haven’t seen the dresses. 🙁
I’m sure they’re beautiful.
How’s it goin’?
I love the dresses! The girls look great. You have almost convinced me to learn how to sew… almost.
I hope you had a great Easter.
Wow that is impressive. They are all wonderful. You are very talented. I hope the girls are greatful to you. Good job. Sorry about the miscarriage but thank goodness for sisters.
I just love all your stuff…you are so amazing. I am wondering if you would do a post on: Buttons…like the ones you have under your title (home, FHE, ect….) or email me?
Thanks

Oh my goodness, that is just incredible!! I managed to make a skirt for me and a dress for my daughter, but I didn’t plan that far in advance, which landed me a very late night.
Beautiful Work!!
