Happy Easter!!

Easter is such an awesome celebration in my faith! Such a reminder of what our Lord endured for us!
In celebration of Easter I made my two girls their Easter dresses for church.
I didn't want to anything too floofy for Jenelle as I wanted her to be able to wear her dress more than once. So I chose the new Oliver + S Garden Party Dress. I used Michael Miller Patty Young Sanctuary Orchid Feng Shui Fabric that has been curing in my stash for far too long! I had a perfect match of solid pink for the contrast! The dress was so simply and fun to put together. I love the gathered bodice and the gathered cap sleeves are darling!
Here are close-ups of the front and back.
Here are a couple of modeled shots.
She was watching a hummingbird drink from our feeder! LOL
For Allison, I made her a dress from the Ottobre Spring/Summer 2014 issue (design #1) A simple tank dress. I wanted simple lines in the dress because I was using ruffle fabric. I just bound the neckline and the armholes with matching cotton interlock fabric I had in my stash.
Here are some modeled shots of Miss. Ally.
She wore the cardigan to church as it was a bit chilly.
All in all I'm happy with their dresses...they're Springy and yet simple enough that they will get worn all Spring/Summer long.
Thanks for looking. Til next time...Happy Sewing!
