After Elizabeth and I made a new dress for Betsy with the new sewing machine, we got ambitious. We decided to making matching outfits for Lizzie and Betsy using the ever-reliable Sweet Little Dress pattern. The big girl one came together well during naptime yesterday. Since I made her zig-zag all her seams to finish them, it took longer than she liked, she did get impatient by the end. I ended up sewing the neck casing and threading the elastic through, as she couldn’t do that on her own. We’ll be stuck at home tomorrow while the van is in the shop, so we’re hoping to make Betsy’s (and some pants for both of them!) then!
Oh how I love the mommy and daughter sewing! So inspiring! I recently made a matching doll and girl dress using this free pattern: http://oliverands.com/free-patterns/popover-sundress/
Evangeline picked out fabric but I did all the rest. 🙂
Oh, thank you! We’ll do this one next! I’ve been looking for doll dress patterns that match some of my big girl ones.
Love it!!
Both you and Lizzie must have the patience of a SAINT!!!
