Here's another one that I like (Simplicity 5695). It was not quite as easy as the first one, but it went together quickly. The most difficult parts were the gathers. I like this style because B can dress herself since there are no zippers. I also think that most zippers are too stiff for kidswear. 
Here is B modeling my favorite (Simplicity 5118). I used my serger to make a rolled hem, and then I used the scallop stitch feature on my sewing machine to make cute scallops on the edges. I like how it dresses up a fairly plain dress. 
I have some patterns for the boys too, but I haven't cut them out yet. I hope to make most of the kids clothes for the spring/summer.I've also been working on my swap mittens. I love coming up with new designs, but I can't share this one yet!

Cute, cute, cute! Someone gave me a different, solid old sewing machine lately. I am working on making friends with it, and trying to make an apron. My last machine was entirely too persnickety. I have great hopes for this one!
Love those dresses! And I can tell B does too.
She looks like she had fun modeling. The dresses turned out cute. I have the pattern in the middle, fun to see how it turns out.
Sweet dresses! Does that mean Spring is coming? You wouldn't know it by looking around my house ;o)
I love the dresses you've done. I've been working on dresses lately myself, but I don't like using patterns, lol. I like stuff to be as simple as possible! I made a skirt for Gabrielle that was tiered and gathered like the dress you made. It is pretty, but tedious. I use a gathering foot to make it easier.
Wow! You are very talented - and the last picture is too cute!
Adorable! Makes me want to start sewing for the little ones again.
