My little doll

Today Summer got to play the bells during the church service at the Lutheran church where she goes to pre-school. I used it as an opportunity (excuse) to dress her up. And she let me! (Every once in a while I get an idea in my head of something that I want to make for my girls. But they all have definite opinions of what they do and do not like-- and quite often my ideas are squashed. But it's SO FUN when they agree to be my dolls and let me dress them up.) I made her dress using one of my favorite patterns (actually a nightgown pattern, Simplicity 3938) and I was so tickled with how it turned out.I think she liked it, too, because she kept dancing around in front of the mirror when I was trying to curl her hair. :)

Summer is adorable! So, your a seamstress huh? I'm a wannabe one. I would love to know how to sew my kids a dress or skirt or jammies. One day I will get in the mood and learn. Her dress is lovely. Nice job Momma!

Oh, and about the white night gowns. My girls dance teachers are a mom and daughter duo that are extremely talented in the gift of sewing, so they were hand made. SORRY! But you could probably make them. You have skillz:0)

Cute cute cute, I remember when I wanted to do my girls hair and they wouldn't let me but I have a few of the dresses I made them and now their kids are using them as dress-up. I can't imagine doing it with 5.

She is a little Christmas girl! It is a rare occasion that what you have in mind and what they will accept are the same. We will enjoy every minute!
