We went to a wedding yesterday and I think it might be one of the last weddings of our good college friends. There are a few others but the days of going to a wedding every weekend of the summer are over.
I have made it eight months without buying the girls any clothes. Whew. This has been a fun and rewarding challenge for myself but it has also been very inconvenient at times. Aleah did not have a nice enough dress that fit her for the wedding so I had to make her one.
No one has been sleeping that well around our house for the past week because Aleah got a really bad cough from some neighbor kids. The kind where you wake up at night because you are coughing. And if she is waking up then either Jared or I are waking up as well. Fortunately Sophi has not gotten the cough and I didn’t have to make Sophi’s dress.
Needless to say sewing a dress was not on the top of my priority list but I scrambled a bit and this is what I came up with.
I used an old bridesmaid dress, took in the sides and added adjustable straps as well as trimmed the bottom.
Happy Labor Day Weekend!
