After finding a fabric store in town I decided to take a rainy day and make some pillowcase dresses. The girls and I ran to House of 66 cents and grabbed some material that they all loved. It had yellow and purple and fun designs - something for everyone. Once they went down for their naps I busted out the sewing machine and started creating the dresses. While some seamstresses can take hours to create things I have the ability (or lack of patience) to knock things out pretty fast. I tested my first one on the biggest to make sure things were to scale and then started on the little ones. After finishing them all I thought I would give Molly her first sewing lesson and Riley heard me so she also got her first lesson. The girls got to sew 5 dresses for their baby dolls from the scraps. It was easier to teach Molly than Riley but they both seemed to enjoy themselves and their creations.
