Last year I offered to make my friend's daughter Zoe a dress to wear after she was baptized. Zoe picked out the pattern and fabric and after the dress was made we discovered it was too big. [Do I even need to say that I never took a pattern fitting class...?] Sunday before last Zoe came running up to me after church and she was wearing the dress! It looked so cute on her and she was beaming. A few minutes later I was talking to a friend and her daughter started whispering something to her and then said to me, "Would you make me a dress?" I'm such a sucker for baking and sewing requests! I told her I would and a few days later went over to measure her. When I got to her house her mom said that her younger daughter was asking if I'd make her a dress too. Of course I agreed. I measured the girls and asked what their favorite colors were. The twist in the story is that these girls are moving on Thursday. I bought patterns and fabric on Saturday. I cut the dresses out Sunday. And tonight (it's Monday) I made the dresses. I still have a few things to finish on each one but when I go to visit them tomorrow (Tuesday) we'll know if the dresses fit or not and if they don't fit I sure hope the girls like cloth napkins!
