Thanksgiving Dresses
November 27, 2009 10:20 pmWe had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. It’s been such a lovely couple of days.
Here are the dresses I made for the girls for the day.
I chose bright, popping fall colors or eggplant, curry, pumpkin and sage.
I wanted simple, clean lines.
They all had these crocheted button back closures.
Although hard to see, they had a small pleat on the front neckline.
We did lots of fun fall things like throwing leaves…
…picking persimmons…
…and eating them, too…
…and eating them, too…
…and loving the family that God has blessed us with.
I’m SOOOOO excited because although I love refashioning, I love designing and making things from scratch the most. So I went a little nuts over the past 3 days and made 5 original pieces for myself and I can’t wait to show them all to you!!!
I hope you all had much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Alexis! What cute pictures. I love the outfits you made for your girls. I just have to say that I love your blog and think you do amazing projects. I started redoing some of my clothes to copy J Crew before I found your blog and am not nearly as good a seamstress, but I get so much inspiration from your projects!
XOXO
Jen

Very Sweet. I love the simplicity of these dresses. I will be asking for the gift of TIME for Christmas. I don't get to do enough sewing projects since I had my youngest!

I LOVE the eggplant/yellow combination! I don't know why I haven't thought to use it in some of my outfits! Thanks for the inspiration. And you did a really good job on all of the girls' clothes!
