| Sophee age 4 |
I love sewing for Sophee! She is always so gracious... and the perfect little model. This year, for her fourth birthday, I took her to the fabric store. As we poured over the patterns, she saw this one and fell in love. We looked at a few more designs, but this was the dress of her dreams. Pattern in hand, we proceeded to look at fabric where Sophee announced, "I'm going to go to the temple some day, so I need it to be white!" Her mom and I suggested that she wait until she does go to the temple to get the white one... so purple it is! I was a little concerned that there wouldn't be enough fabric for the overlay. Sophee was pretty stressed out about the thought and continued to explain to the lady at the cutting table that her Grammie just had to have enough fabric for her birthday dress.
The photo was taken at the first fitting. When I brought the dress in to show her, it took her breath away. I took a quick photo with the pins in the back. She stood there, not quite sure what to do with her hands. Then she purposefully posed for the shot.

After the party, Sophee came up to me, in all seriousness and asked, "Grammie, is it OK if I take my beautiful dress home?" When I assured her she could keep it forever, she threw her arms around my neck and exclaimed, "I love you so, so much, Grammie! Thank you so much for my beautiful dress!"
Did I mention that I love sewing for Sophee?!
