I have Vowed a Vow

I vowed a vow to myself that I would never-ever-ain't gonna happen-no way possible - etc...etc... make my daughters wear homemade matching dresses.  Before you get all offended, I've honestly seen some matching dresses that moms have made for their little darlings that are chic and cute.  And one mom made camo dresses for her daughters that I personally thought was a sweet idea since Daddy didn't have a son (shout out to you...you know who you are).  But ever since I've known about missionaries I've felt sorry for the daughters wearing matching, out-of-date dresses.  That said...I hope I haven't offended anyone...that's not my purpose.  I'm just (deep....deep...heartfelt sigh)  "bearing my soul." giggle

So why did I spend a couple hours of my Saturday sewing matching dresses for my 3 princesses?   Cause you can't go wrong with Fancy Nancy!  She's like the coolest thing since premade Popsicles!  If you've not read it to your princess yet.  I recommend them..and there are several different ones.  They're fun and girly, and my girls are very fun and girly girls.

And another thing I've learned about homemade dresses.....taught to me by my own little cherubs....is that it is all about how you accessorize!   And before you laugh about how they look like a pillowcase...I don't claim any blue ribbons in sewing.  Curtains and tablecloths are right down my alley!  So.. they are supposed to look like that.  They are pillowcase dresses.  

When I hung the first finished dress up on a hanger to admire my work, Josh walked by and asked, "what are you gonna do with that?"  I said, "It's a pillowcase dress."  "So it's a pillowcase?"  "No, it's a dress."  "Alright."  "Don't look at me like that....I'm not gonna wear it, it's for the girls!"
