For our little girl...

I have been working very hard on my sewing the last two days and the finished product is so exciting! I have now completed a homemade outfit for our little girl.

This little outfit was a challenge for me. We bought the pattern book back in April on a day that I was feeling sad because it was the due date for the pregnancy that we lost in September. We were trying to be happy and excited for the current pregnancy of our little girl, so I set out to do a little outfit! Much to my surprise, the author was being quite honest when she said it was a difficulty level 4 project. Too bad I loved it so much!

Now I can proudly say that I have completed it. After avoiding the challenge for a while I have come back and conquered! It is great to have it ready for our little girl. Who knows what age she will be when she fits it (it is for size 0-3 months) but we know whenever she fits it she will look adorable and her mommy and daddy will be so proud!

That is the cutest outfit I have ever seen. This is just the beginning of hand-made dresses for her. Get really crazy (like me) and make mother-daughter outfits. Yikes!
