Underdresses here we come!

Got all the kids measured for underdresses (girls) and tunic (Joseph). I have not made clothing in a few years, and it is kinda a bitter-sweet feeling. I have usually done projects like this with my grandmother who taught me to sew, my Munner. Unfortunately she no longer remembers who I am, nor how to sew...

So with reading several patterns and trying to figure out how to cut everything (without a "paper pattern" which I am used to having!) here I go! Starting with Lilly's as the linen was on sale so I got extra of it, plus her's is the smallest so if I mess it up I have more "wiggle room" to re-cut and start again.

I currently have the body done, neck hole and slit cut, and one sleeve sewn to the body. Hoping in a few more hours I will be able to finish her dress.

This is the dress I am working on -
