The finished dresses

The girls had a lot of fun donning their festive 4th of July dresses. I love the holiday and remembering all those to whom we owe our freedoms. It is humbling to think that I was so fortunate to have been born here and to be able to choose how I live my life and raise my family. It was fun to have the girls dresses and all our family dressed in red, white and blue at church and throughout the day to honor our great nation.




Oh, I almost forgot! I finished the bottoms by stretching the fabric as I zigzagged the edge. I used a very short stitch length of about 1/2 and a medium width zigzag stitch. It gives it a bit of a ruffled edge.
