This is the dress I was working on while the kiddos fell asleep. I think I did pretty well without a pattern. There are a couple of little things I would change the next time around though. I learned a lot!

I’ve been working all morning on a dress for little Gloria. She and Daniel have been playing in the living room and I check on them in between each step. (Pin the fabric. Check on kids. Sew a seam.

I could see one of them asleep, but both?
We did have a thunderstorm wake everyone up about 5 this morning. We ended up with the whole family in the same bed for about an hour. No one got any more sleep, but we did get to snuggle under the lovely new quilt Grandma made for us! I guess the early morning tuckered them out.
Daniel is up now, eating lunch with me. Hopefully, Gloria will awaken soon so I can feed her and try that silly dress on her already. Then maybe. Just maybe. I’ll get some grocery shopping done. We seem to run out of everything all at once around here.
