Because Everyone Shares Easter Dresses in September


This spring, we were consumed.

ShoulderButtonBishop2

Consumed by Easter sewing . . . for all three nieces.

ShoulderButtonBishop11

Two dresses made the Easter “deadline”. One did not.

ShoulderButtonBishop12

This dress WAS completed by Easter {along with her older sister’s dress}.

And, believe it or not, pictures were taken Easter weekend.

ShoulderButtonBishop15

It just wasn’t blogged about . . . until now.

ShoulderButtonBishop7

Trudy Horne‘s shoulder-button bishop may be our favorite bishop pattern of all time!

ShoulderButtonBishop16

We have sewn a few baby gifts using it, and CL was a recipient of another shoulder-button bishop a few years ago. It’s a good, classic bishop that we rely on – time and time again.

ShoulderButtonBishop10

You see, we had been working on this dress for a while.

ShoulderButtonBishop17

And, thankfully, bishops are forgiving!!

ShoulderButtonBishop1

So, although the cabbage roses slowed down our completion – CL still has ample room to grow in this dress.

ShoulderButtonBishop4

We are crossing our fingers that she will have another “wearable year” in this dress!!

ShoulderButtonBishop3

We prefer peach to pink fabric, and this fabric is the palest of the pale peaches.

ShoulderButtonBishop8

If we knew the precise fabric type and distributor, we might just buy a bolt of this stuff.

It is THAT good!!

ShoulderButtonBishop9

CL, true to form, was as appreciative as ever!!

ShoulderButtonBishop13

She loves when we sew clothes for her . . . especially when they are not passed down from her sister {although she loves those too}.

ShoulderButtonBishop6

As for our plans to sew three heirloom dresses for Easter next year?

ShoulderButtonBishop5

THAT is still up for debate!

ShoulderButtonBishop14

Absolutely stunning! CL looks like an angel! I am sure that she will get another year out of it. When I made Victoria-Rose her Bishop dresses we always got two years of wear. I love how precious CL is about you making her things. The sleeves are particularly beaitiful!
