145789Oh boy, you are well endowred Kim, it looks like a production line of these beautiful dresses. Well done.
29743270Kim I was just wondering how much fabric do you purchase at a time when you plan to do enough for all 7?

Ahhh, the big question...it depends upon what type of dress I am making...But, sometimes the fabric quantity dictates the style of dress, especially if I am short on quantity..For these, I had 5 yards of blue and 2.5 yards of print...Just a bit left over. If the skirts are full then 2 yards each for size 4-7 and 1.5 yards for 2-3 and about a yard for 6mos-1 give or take...
23281You certainly have been a busy lady! they look perfect for your holiday weekend, hope the weather is good...

1803165926Oh my, you're so good at getting all the grandies, I usually don't please them all at the same time. lol! Your outfits are so cute!
23281These are so cute. I can tell you that when the girls are old ladies they will be saying, "Remember when we all had dresses the same?"--my sisters and I do just that as our Grandma made us matching dresses every summer and we loved them.

13214Cute dresses. But my first thought was, this woman is wonder woman. How does she find the time to sew, then I read some of the comments and saw that these are your grandkids. I am sure they will all look adorable on the 4th.
