The three sweet girls in these pictures are sisters and all have their birthdays within two months of each other. When the Little House on the Prairie line of fabric by Andover came out months ago, I knew that I wanted to sew with this fabric. I would make something for the girls.
It took a bit of time and some outfits were not finished by certain birthdays, but I am very happy with the finished project. I also love that little brother photo bomber!
It was fun to decided which fabric to use for each girl.
Earlier this year I was sorting through my mom's sewing stash from inside a hassock of hers that had to be tossed as the metal on the bottom was eating into the carpet. That hassock was easily over 60 years old. Inside I found buttons which were just as old. I decided to use those buttons for their dresses and aprons.
Some cards of buttons were marked 15 cents!
Their sunbonnets match their aprons and frame their cute faces.
I understand that this little one wears her new outfit the most.
They are my own Mary, Laura, and Carrie straight out of Little House. There were also some books and DVDs of the series involved in this birthday gift.
Little brother perhaps needs his own pioneer outfit.
And a hunting rifle.
While shopping for the fabric I also found these cute cloth dolls.
They came with bonnets and pantaloons.
I thought cloth dolls were appropriate for the time we were honoring.
I also made a Little House on the Prairie outfit for their cousin and my grandchild from another son's family.
I made them dresses for their dolls from the leftover scraps from their dresses. I love my "little house on the prairie" girls!
