And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.

I think these are the first completely matching dresses I've made for the girls! I did add a pocket to Holly's dress (she's currently obsessed with pockets) and the ruffle at the bottom of Greta's dress is actually visible, unlike Holly's (my measurements were obviously off). I love this fabric. It's a beautiful, soft corduroy. It was given to me by my mother-in-law who bought it in Europe and I've had it for 1 or 2 years. Originally, I was going to make a jacket for Holly out of it, but I didn't and I'm glad I didn't because I like these dresses better! And I had just enough fabric! I love the pattern that I used, I'm sure you'll see lots more of it. For the rest of the year, all I plan on making for the girls (in terms of clothing) are their Christmas dresses, Halloween costumes and a fall-weight dress for Holly. I plan on sewing for myself otherwise and I can't wait! 

Many thank-yous to Catherine (AKA Nana) for the fabric!

The fabric is gorgeous! I’m totally wishing I had something like it! And I think I’m sold on the pattern. I’ll be buying it ASAP!

I LOVE the girls matching dresses! So jealous that you get to dress your two little darlings alike! I wonder if Noah would mind matching with Lola for me????

Thought this was the sweetest fabric ever when I saw it.  Had no idea what it would grow up to be, but just HAD to have it!  Little did we know that this fabric, bought while the recently engaged Conor waited (sometimes patiently) as we made various fabric stops throughout our european trip,would one day be worn by not just ONE, but TWO of his beautiful daughters one day.
Loved what you did with it Katie, Holly and Greta look sweet as can be. Well done!
