I had purchased some fabric about a month ago with the idea I would make some capris and tops for Rachael, or something to that effect. After seeing this $98 dress in the Garnet Hill catalog, I thought, I can do this. So I found an old pillow case from a set of sheets I don't use anymore. Found directions, and tried it out. Really easy. Now to make it reversible. Hmmm..... I cut out my fabric, looked at the picture, sewed a few seams, looked at the picture some more, took out a few seams, etc. After about 2 hours I managed to do it. I am going to make one for Hannah so the two girls can match. The next one won't take as long since I have it figured out. I really am not a seamstress; sort of self taught. I don't do well with patterns and their directions. They confuse me something fierce!
Rachael doesn't really like dresses, but I make her wear them now and then other than to church. Here's how it turned out! I had to pat myself on the back.
Now, if I can just get her to look like a young lady instead of a little crazed child!
