Yay! I did it! I made Baby Girl a dress! :o)
Last week I found a freebie tutorial for a newborn sized dress and I quickly downloaded the pattern and tutorial. It looked pretty simple, so I started cutting out the pieces at nap time one day only to realize that I needed piping and bias tape. I have never bought either.....so I dragged all 3 boys to Hobby Lobby after nap time. I had a hard time finding what I wanted. I was going to go with cream, but they were out, so I chose brown. It works.
I am by NO means a master seamstress. I make LOTS of mistakes. I sew pretty slow because I am not confident in my sewing skills, but I do alright. I am so blessed that my Granny gave me her older machine so that I haven't had to worry with costs for a machine. My parents fixed it up for me last year and it works great for what I need.
This tutorial also had a 0-3 sized dress pattern so I think that will be my next project for her. I have lots of fabric to make more dresses and she in need of dresses/outfits for her until the weather changes or 3/4 mos.

Wow, great job - so adorable!
Beautiful! I'm not a great seamstress, but I like to experiment. Unfortunately my machine only likes to work about 25% of the time. :-(
Way to go, Lauren! It's so cute!! I love the fabric.
So super cute! GREAT JOB! I am loving those hair bows!
Way to go! It is very cute!
Super Cute! I love the fabric. You did it! Yay!
Ah! It looks awesome! We probably have the same amount of sewing skills. I have a machine (love to buy pretty fabric) and can kinda read a pattern. Projects take me 100% longer than they should, but the reward is always sweet.
Fantastic job!
