Pillowcase's and Cookie Cakes

The girls and their Pillowcase Dresses.
Landon, Kelly and Keaton decorate a sugar cookie cake with cream cheese icing, and strawberries and blueberries in honor of Old Glory.

I became inspired last week to sew. It only happens in the summer, mainly because my mom is off work and can come over and help me. She is the best seamstress that I know. She can do almost anything with a needle and thread. Well, we made 6 outfits (2 for each of the girls) and 4 nursing blankets for my friends. I will explain the other outfit on another day because it has a great story attached to it. These are Pillowcase Dresses. You can google it and get great instructions on how to make them yourselves so I won't bore you with the details but it sure was fun to make and easy. I just used material instead of a pillowcase but you get the idea. Well, no doubt the girls will get great use out of these play dresses and the best part of all, besides all 3 girls matching, is that they won't show ketchup stains! Hope you had a great 4th.

Oh Shannon, you have given me a good idea for a project for my mom and me. I would love to have matching outfits for my girls! Very cute!
