I finished the last of the 10 (TEN) dresses today. Yay for little Joanie! I've been at it for 2 months. Lest you think me a very slow sewer (bwahahaha... sew-er, not sewer, pew!) I've taken time off for unnecessary things like yard work, moving Camille, working on wedding plans, piecing and quilting the *Bee-U-ti-full* wedding quilt and many more things that I can't even think of right now.
The first completed was my mob dress. I only sustained a 4 inch burn on the back of my left upper arm making that one (I backed into the hot iron! Ouchie!) After much angst and letting it hang around (hahahaha) I finally found a piece of beautiful lace in my stash to put at the neck which makes me happy.
Without a doubt the most fun to make of the bunch were the dresses for the little girls. The *polkie-dottie* dresses are for Kevin's little girls and the black and green is for little Emmalie Camille.
But the time I got to the last of these bridesmaid dresses I had the work-flow down pat. I finished the last one in just a few hours. And here they are... pretty maids all in a row. (See the white label? I wrote each girls' name on iron-on interfacing and pressed it on so I would know whose was whose!)
It is my hope that I will be able to eek out enough time in the next 2 weeks and 2 days to post a photo and some of my thoughts... but I'm not going to stress myself. I will remember the advise of the Psalmist, "Fret Not Thyself!"

Wow! I so want one of the polka-dot dresses with a colored sash! Those are dang cute....esp with the little ruffly tulle peaking out the bottom! You are amazing auntie, to take on all that sewing yourself....phenomenal!
Joanie, all those dresses are so lovely . . . and the girls looked so pretty in them at the bee-U-ti-full Wadding!
