Dusting off old skills

Okay, so I will be the first to admit that my sewing machine hasn't been broken in much since I bought a new one five years ago.  I decided it was about time I wiped the dust off the cover and began to rebuild that fragile relationship.  Brynlei has been growing like a little weed lately and she grows out of a lot of her dresses due to the rapid growth in her height.  So when I found a cute tutorial on the internet for bandana dresses I decided that for as cheap as they are to make that even if I failed miserably then I wouldn't be out much.  Well here is my attempt at making them.  I had fun sewing these two dresses and they seriously only took me about 35 minutes each.  She loves them and keeps telling me she needs more.  Now, I just need to make matching bows.   I do think they turned out cuter than I thought they would and now I am excited to start sewing more fun things!!!

Wahoo! Those are too cute! If I had a little girl, I would hire you to make me some! Good luck with the rebuilding of your relationship! I need to do the same with my machine.
