Baptism Dress

Okay, everyone! Here it is. The dress that has given me no end of grief. Bethany decided that for her baptism, she wanted a homemade dress to go along with the blessing dress that I crocheted for her when she was a baby. (You don't think this means she'll want me to make her wedding dress do you? Yikes!) It all sounded like a fine idea until I cut the pattern out incorrectly, ran out of fabric, had to go back to JoAnne's and get more fabric, started sewing the dress, realized that Amber had cut a hole in one of the sleeves, had to go back to JoAnne's and get more fabric, went to Sarah's, saw Kaitlyn's store bought dress that cost 1/3 of the cost of what I had now spent on fabric and spent hours gathering and hemming the colossal skirt on this bad girl. And the worst part of it is that now, I have to do it again for Miranda and Amber. Maybe we can go a little more chic, modern and somewhat less full when they turn eight. More pictures coming when the baptism girl actually gets baptized next month!
