easter dresses

Last month I used the Alchemy to have some cute dresses made for my girls for Easter, and they just arrived yesterday!! I had bought the Sandi Henderson Claire pattern last year but ended up doing some quick and easy skirts for my girls so this year I was really itching to use the pattern. They are growing too fast and soon they won't want cute, sweet dresses. I'm soo excited that they fit them perfectly and they were just as excited as me about them. Margaret did such an excellent job!! Now getting ready to send her some more fabric so she can make a couple other dresses from the pattern.

Now all I have left is to add a little embroidery to their aprons. I thought a little touch from me would make them even more special.



Aren't they just sooo cute in their dresses!! I'm thinking of doing the lime, and the red and aqua colorways of the Flora and Fauna for another set of dresses, and Heather Baileys Nicey Jane in the blues and yellows and in the pinks and green for one more set. The HR Mendocino would sure look cute for summer dresses. :) Oh, just soo many options!
