My family!! This was the biggest project I have taken on to date - I whacked through 6 yards of fabric in about a week for this, everything was pretty simple and easy to do, just getting it all organized in my head and executed!
My BIL got married in Wyo and dh and older ds were in the wedding so of course I had to get some matchys going for the rest of us! I missed the red color by a long shot, I was a little bummed about that, wish I had gotten closer to the ruby color, but it is hard to know from long distance, and well, in the whole scheme of things it doesn't matter.
Anyway, here are pics and details and the wedding was beautiful and perfect. My parents drove up too and my dad performed the ceremony so it was just an all around cozy family affair!

I made my two dd's dresses, my skirt, little mans tux shorts and bowtie.
My skirt is a 3/4 circle skirt with a knit waist
Youngest dd's is a jayme bodice with circle skirt
Oldest dd's is based off a simplicity pattern, they called
for two small elastic casings on the back with a zipper closing the dress up but I just ran elastic in casing all across the back and it worked perfect.
I made the baby little tux shorts with a knit waist out of linen and stiched the ribbon up the side, loved them. RTW shirt and little bow tie using instructions I found in KSFT. (on a side note, I LOVE my ks books, so many times I am wondering about a technique or idea and she has already covered it in there)
Fabric was quilters woven bought at JA's for 40% off of $2.99 a yd, got to LOVE that for clothes that will not get a ton of wear around here!
better view of the girl's dresses, the dolly in the middle is my neice whose parents were getting married. They got pg when mama was just 16.

Any wonkyness is only a matter of squirmy kids.
Thanks for looking!
