Taylor learned more how to sew

Taylor and Jordan are going on a pioneer trek this summer so I took a couple of days out of my schedule to help Taylor sew a pioneer dress.

She used the pattern that is used for Nauvoo costumes and we down sized it some. However, it didn't need much alteration because Taylor is growing up fast.

If you look close, you'll see grow tucks and piping both of which were used in pioneer days. Also note the dropped sleeve and tucks rather than gathers on the skirt.

Along with the dress, Taylor finished an apron that she started a year or so ago. However, she finished her bonnet long before this final project. She is going to use a petty coat and bloomers that Chelsea and Tiffanie used when they were her age. There's a skirt, blouse, and apron from prior years that also fit and can be used along with her new dress.

Jordan didn't ask for help sewing. I guess it's not his thing.
