I sewed during nap time for about a week. Not bad for a beginning seamstress. I took two trips to Joann's, and $22.00 (including Dallas $5 polo) The girls dresses were made using this tutorial. I found it easy to work with, I did have to make up Noelle's as the pattern did not size that small. I had to make three bodices before one fit, and it was still a little wonky in the back. But Noelle is not one size all over, she has a lot of chub in the trunk area! Dallas bow tie was made using this tutorial. It was very fast and easy. I would do more in a heartbeat. He hated putting it on, but once on I think he simple forgot about it, as he wore it 12 + hours that day and didn't seem to mind. His hat made using this tutorial. I found the directions not to be as clear as I hoped, actually I wanted more pictures. I am a visual learner, and love online tutorials for this reason, step by step pictures, thank you bloggers! I did modify the hat to take some poof out of it, and to make it fit. Original size it was too small, when I de-poofed it was really big. I added some elastic, which helped the fit, and hopefully made it comfortable to wear.
And the flower bow in Emily's hair, is based on some I have seen, I am sure there is a tute out there, but I didn't use one directly. It is an assembly of 6 or so circles, the top four circles folded into quarters and placed on the other flat circles. I sewed the whole thing together and then onto an aligator clip.
