It is a goal of mine to make the baptismal dresses of our daughter's daughters. Not that I wouldn't love to make all of the dresses, but Lyndsay's mom is a beautiful seamstress and I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes. Anyway, I made Maisen's dress a few years ago and she loved it.
When we were still living in Salt Lake, I took Celeste shopping and we picked out the pattern and fabric. It didn't work out to make her dress before I left, so I had to scramble to finish it after Christmas because she got baptized New Year's Eve day!
Thankfully, I at least got it cut out before I left.
Monday, the day after Christmas, I set aside to sew all day long. Usually I end up having to pick out the zipper a couple of times. But I truly feel I was blessed with the help of the Lord because I made no major mistakes except one. I completed the dress except for the fabric flowers on the front sash.
I had purchased some flowers, but they were too small and I was unhappy with them. I got up early the next day and found a web site that taught me how to make fabric flowers. I was able to make them and sew them on.
Early afternoon we took the dress to the post office and sent it Express mail. She got it the next day!
She loved it!! That's what I was hoping.
