I continued my sewing for my girls. I made t-shirt dresses and skorts, and skirts for every day. My favorite was making Sunday dresses. These aren't in any order. If I made them for Lorene, very likely Lynette wore them in her turn.
Velvet--Lorene
Daisy Kingdom--Lynette
Both girls
Lynette--when sheer fabrics were in.
Lynette's velvet
Daisy Kingdom--Lynette
Cape--Lynette
Made from a chenille bedspread when making teddy bears and things from them was also a thing.
Bonita made this dress for Lynette
This was a hand-me-down
I bought this one after seeing an ad in a Penney's catalog, (yes that was a thing) featuring a little girl with blonde hair just like Lynette's. That was before her front hair was cut off by her brother.
She was two.
Another Daisy Kingdom for Lynette. I did the smocking and made a doll dress just like it.
Daisy Kingdom patterns came with a doll pattern.
Bonita made these for Lorene and Nathan
Lynette--I was into smocking and I don't remember how aggravating the piping was. I really dislike making piping, let alone sewing it on.
Lynette--I bought this one. It's a beautiful thin dress with tucking and embroidery. It's a pale blue.
Bonita made this lacy dress and smocked bonnet for Lorene.
She made this dress as well, the matching one for Lynette is at her house for her girls.
Lorene--her sheer dress
I made two of these. I got the trim as a "free gift" from a sewing company that sent catalogs.
One was for Lorene and one for a friend.
It seems like the preponderance of dresses here were Lynette's. Some of the ones I made for Lorene I passed on to Paislee. I'd like to take pictures of those.
I'm keeping the really fancy ones.
The rest are going.
