Big Accomplishment

3rd post of the day - keep reading (Thank goodness for long naps)
Look at this cutie pie.... can you guess the big accomplishment??????

OK - give up?
It's really not about Megan's big accomplishment...
It's my big accomplishment....

I finally finished making 2 matching dresses. One for Megan and one for her cousin, Anna. Megan is modeling the finished product! That was the front - here's the back...
Is it not so cute - I'm very proud of the matching dresses. I can't wait to see Anna in hers - hopefully she'll like it as much as Megan does. My friend Amy has spured me on to tap into my inner seamstress....... It's been a lot of fun and I have lots more fun plans like it in the future.

Seriously, to copy what Amy has said in the past - it is so easy - anyone could do it!
No joke - it's one piece of material - one seam and a hem and then attach the ribbon straps. The straps were the hardest part. I can't wait to make another one!

Is that some of the material that is pregathered at the top>

Sandy - it is. This is the "cheaper stuff" from Walmart. it was really my test dress. It shrunk quite a bit when I prewashed it so I was worried both dresses would be to small - but it worked. JoAnne's has a bunch and I'm going there with my 40% off coupon to get another print.

Don't freak out by the removed comment - I somehow put my response to Sandy in there twice and tried to delete it.
