Kira's birthday suit



I got in to sewing last October when I couldn't find a dress I liked for Kate's wedding, so I sewed my own. It was fun. So I started sewing dresses for the girls for birthdays and such. Brie got one, Hannah got one, Paige was in to horses so she got a horse. But, this is Kira's birthday dress. Now, it's a little late (good thing she is 2 and she doesn't really notice) because I had too many distractions with family reunion and Iona Days. But I finished it today. Now, I have a tendency to tackle projects that are way beyond my skill level and I wasn't as pleased with this dress as some of the others. But, once I put it on her and saw her pretty smile and sparkling blues eyes I thought the dress looked much better. Then when I pulled out the camera and she immediately chirped her happy little "cheeeeese" for the camera it looked like the most beautiful dress in the world. I think it had more to do with the wearer than it did with the maker.
