We are sewing, daily sewing...

One of the things on my list for Anna for Christmas, was dresses.  It seems we just get a dress for her, and she outgrows it after wearing it twice.  I wasn't looking forward to shopping for them.  Every time I do, either they're sleeveless, incredibly fancy (thus incredibly expensive), or have a cartoon character splashed across it.  So, I decided to make her a couple of things.

Erin turned me onto a blog a couple of years ago called Make It and Love It.  She does all sorts of easy clothes and re-purposing tutorials.  I chose to do the sweater dress for Anna.  I got the sweater at the DI for 4 dollars.  Here are the pictures of what she made and what I made:

I also made a skirt from a blog called Made.  The fabric was leftovers from my laundry room curtains.  Here are the professional one and the one I made.

Finally, I made a skirt from a blog called Two Little Banshees.  I got the fabric from Wal-Mart.  It's actually corduroy and very soft.  Again, pictures:
