Amara is lucky to be surrounded by so much sewing talent! She certainly reaps the benefits of it. Her Mommy loves to sew and makes her all sorts of cute things and both of her Grandmas like to sew. We have made her Halloween costumes and birthday costumes that she has played in for years after they were made. She loves to play dress up and she has had a couple that were real favorites. She loved her Alice in Wonderland costume and she would beg her Mommy to let her wear it everywhere. She was 2½ that year.
Another one of her favorites was her yellow satin Belle gown that Grandma Judi made her for her fourth birthday party. It was breathtaking and Amara loved playing dress up in that gown for at least 2 years after that party.
But of all the gowns and all the costumes the most beautiful by far is the new pink and purple gown that Grandma Judi made her. She even made a choker necklace from satin ribbon to match it. It is everything any little Princess could want and more! In fact there was more. Grandma Judi knows how much Amara loves Barbie so she made a matching gown for Barbie to wear. Barbie has never had a more special gown and neither has Amara.

Amara is a lucky girl! The yellow gown is my favorite, but then I’ve always loved Beauty and the Beast.
Susan, I have to admit that the yellow is my favorite, too. So is Beauty and the Beast.
What a well-dressed little princess. Beautiful work by one and all. Will be interesting to see what fashions she models as she grows, with such incredible seamstresses at her beck and call. Lovely!
It should be interesting to see if she becomes a seamstress, too! She already loves learning to cook and since the sewing thing is in her genes — from both sides — I bet she whips up her own incredible creations.
They are all beautiful and she is so pretty in them!! I hope she loves sewing as much as her grama’s and mommy!!!
They are all so beautiful. She is such a lucky girl to have so many love her and make her dress-up outfits. I hope her mom is holding on to these things for her to pass down to her daughter someday (if she has one). The yellow is my favorite. It goes so well with her eyes and hair. Such beautiful work on everyone’s costumes. A lot of love put into it.
What great memories she will have when she grows old “like her grandma,” ha, ha. I have such great memories of my mom’s sewing.
My granddaughter loves to dress up in her princess gowns. They are hand-me-downs from her older sister and pretty wore but she doesn’t care.
