This isn't really a part of our Houston trip, except that they wore these dresses during the trip, but alas, here it is.
I have always wanted 2 little girls in cute matching Christmas dresses. TADA! I have 2 little girls and it was Christmas time! Christmas dress time indeed. I went to a half a dozen different stores in person and a dozen more online trying to find the best matching Christmas dresses. I had a difficult time finding one that came in both Miriam's size and Evette's size. And the ones I did find I didn't want to pay the $$ for. So, I decided to just make the dresses instead.
The girls and I went to the fabric store to pick out the stuff! Evette was in complete awe in the store. "Mom!! look at this fabric! It's so beautiful!! Look at this one! It has farkles (sparkles)! Mommmmmm!!! This one has puppies on it! It's sooo cute!" She was adorable.
We found this beautiful blue sparkly fabric and green tulle. I looked at some patterns at the store and then realized that I don't know how to read a pattern to make dress. oops. So I decided to wing it.
It was quite a process.
But with some blood, sweat, tears, and a small breakdown, it all came together, more or less!!!
(Sean helped me with the ruffles on the bottom of the dresses :) )
It fills my heart with happiness to see these cuties in their Christmas dresses!
