10 years old!

I can't believe that my daughters just turned 10. Or that I decided to sew them birthday dresses two weeks before we left for Florida :).  I wanted the dresses to be a surprise, so that meant only sewing when they were with their dad... and completely cleaning up any evidence before they came back home.  But I did manage to finish them two days before we left. 
Unfortunately, the dresses were a little too big across the chest, but that was fixed with a couple of strategically placed safety pins...

Here's a pic of them at the California Grill restaurant in the Contemporary Resort at Disney World. The shrugs were necessary because of the air conditioning.

We were able to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the deck after dinner :).

I'll post a pic of just the dresses soon. Pattern is New Look 6042.
