Here's Libby, Sara and Caleb being silly while I was trying to get a nice picture of them. Never got that great photo, but I got some funny ones!

Sewing for Libby's doll
Here are some of the dresses I've made for Libby's doll Alexa so far this year. I sewed the newest evening gown last night out of a blue satin remnant I found at the craft store last week. Libby was so excited!

Here's a cute colonial style day dress from some scraps in my fabric bin. I made this one last Thursday evening and Libby got to stay up until I was finished with it. I love the circular poofy skirt - it has crinoline sewed underneath to fluff it out - so cute!

A cute yellow summer dress from fabric Libby picked out this summer.

The all-important flannel nightgown for keeping warm on cool nights. . .

And also a prairie dress and contrasting apron that we made this summer - this one was by far the most work of all the dresses due to the ruffles along the hem and over the sleeves. This was a two-day project instead of a single evening job!
We have plans for a few more coming up soon. My fabric scrap box is beginning to run low, so if anyone knows of a good place to get remnants, I'd love to hear about it!
