Okay- this is absolutely genious! Of course, the fact that you have 3 granddaughters about that size probably helped a little!
Impressive! You are so beautifully crafty. Thanks for sharing the knowledge on all your creative ideas!
Those are so darling! It's so bright and colorful! I'm gonna try this. Hopefully it will turn out semi close to your cute ones.

So cute! You are really creative. Will you do a tutorial on the dress you helped me make?
I'm blown away by how cute these turned out! Kind of wish my girls were little again ...
Those are so cute! I like the other sewing projects you've done as well.
