sewing saturday {mini maxi's}

trevor was golfing, kellen was napping, emma was playing with the neighbor, so i decided to sew! 

i bought fabric to make emma two dresses about 3 months ago and am just now getting around to it! i had a vision and was kinda scared to get started, afraid that they wouldn't turn out how i planned. 

i was pleasantly surprised! 

here are the two dresses i made emma today! 

 added ribbon after i hemmed the bottom

 i actually hot glued these bows on...i found out last year when i made emma's 4th of july shirt that it holds even after being washed!

after i made the first dress i took pictures right away and then went back to work to do the second. she had obviously had enough pictures from the first little photo shoot and was "over" smiling for the camera. i was bummed because it got all cloudy!

 decided to put the ribbon between the two different patterned parts of the dress instead for this one!

 and again...hot glued the ribbons on!
