This cost me 7 bucks…
So I was going to buy Kaylee a hat for her dress instead of making one but then I figured I could do it and I got the fabric and made a hat. It's not exactly like the hat that Strawberry Shortcake wears but it's close enough.

Finished!
So I finished Kaylee's Costume. I was going to make a hat but instead I think I'm going to see if I can purchase one because I can't find the correct fabric to make the hat with.
Storyteller…
So Kaylee has turned into an imagination machine. I'm not sure if it's because of the Imagination Movers or it's just part of their development. Anyhow she likes to tell stories, have stories told to her, talk to you about your day, sing and just play with her doll house in general. It's actually pretty cool to see. Sometimes it's annoying though because she's constantly talking.
My Sundress Business is taking off though. I have a current order right now and another I have to get to work on once I'm done with the current order. I'm going to try to get both done before I go on vacation but I don't know if I'll have time to do so since I have to move our junk from the house tomorrow, Father's Day/Dinner is Sunday, Wednesday is our court date and then Friday we leave for vacation.
I do have to purchase a pair of slacks for the court date. I was going to wear my dress but that might be considered over dressing.
Possible Money Maker?
My mom says I'm getting good making these dresses for Kaylee. They are easy to make, take about an hour (if you have the time) and can be made with 1 yard of fabric (always on sale) and some thread. My mom was like I can sell them for between $10 and $15 which would net me a profit of probably $5 (because of shipping charges) on each dress.
The thing is do you go with custom orders? For instance do I go and make dresses for Kaylee with fabric options that I can work with, post them and then make dresses as the orders come in? I think this is the best option because I'd hate to have extra stock. Then over time I could make other things too, like shirts and jackets. These dresses can be made from size Newborn to 4T.
Another question becomes are NASCAR dresses? I foresee this potentially being a popular item. Can I sell these dresses at all or would I need permission to do so? I tend to think I can sell them because I know of some other people who sell things with the same fabric and have no problem.
I've made three so far. Here are some pictures of the dresses I've made:
