flannel dresses

recently made flannel dresses for the kids. i used 3 different patterns and mismatched the dress parts for each girl. turned out pretty good. when i had the babe try hers on for size, she had a temper tantrum at having to take it off. i used a basic "scrub"-style top as a base pattern for the bodices and altered from it to add button closure in the front of each (for ease of dressing in lieu of a stretch fabric), a ruffle collar for the wee one, a sash waist for the big kid and and elastic waist for the midget. i just winged it for the skirting and added one crooked pocket to each girl's dress. add a white undershirt for each kid and some leggings and - voila! cute outfits.
