Simplicity 8063 for both dresses, for my granddaughters who wanted matching purses. Right in the middle of the embroidery on the bird dress, my machine broke and could not be repaired. I had my machine, my best friend, for 40 years. I was very emotional in the sewing store to give him up to the scrap heap for a new machine. But I love my new one and finished the dresses without missing a stitch!
