I'm no expert seamstress. As a matter of fact, all I know about sewing, I taught myself - which isn't much. So most of the time, I feel as though I am just feeling my way through. I can put a buttonhole or a zipper on a dress, but I'm really not very good at it.
Here are the fabrics and patterns they have chosen. It's wonderful how we can still find fabrics to match their personalities. I've always told them that when I make them a dress, it's a "One-of-Kind". When these dresses are complete, I believe we will not find other dresses just like them either.
This is for my 10 year old girly-girl.
This is for my soon to be 12 year old tomboy who LOVES horses.

Oh! how wonderful, with a capital W! This will be so much fun for the girls (and you), and will most definitely teach you all so many good things.
*Happy sewing* and, pictures-pictures-pictures of the process & finished products! :)
WOW!! I am super impressed-- I would LOVE to learn to sew!!!
I cannot wait to see the finished products!!!
Definitly a "handi-craft"!! (I call it a dying art too)-- how sad.
This is great. I am including sewing in my "handcrafting" part of our CM schedule this year. My 8 yr. old is so excited. I have been collecting fabric scraps at yard sales, and thrift stores. We will start slow, as I hope to make it fun vs. turn her away from it. (My older girls had an actual sewing class outside the home. They do not enjoy sewing.)
