Something I would like to share with you.

This is a picture of the dresses I made for my two nieces this Christmas. Kathleen (my wife) helped me to selecting a good pattern as well as an appropriate fabric.

The picture is too small to show the details of the fabric. Both dresses are covered in gold snowflakes that match the gold ribbons in colour.

The older girl is 5½ and the younger one just turned 5.

I sewed the pattern exactly to the measurements given for the sleeves. After I shiped the dresses to the nieces I found out that the openning at the cuff was too small to get he arm through. Fortunately the gilrs' mother was able to open the cuff and add more room.
