I finally found a little time to make Charlotte her first handmade-by-me outfit: Sweet Little Dress. I did the 3 month size from a pattern by Leila and Ben, found here. I used fabrics from my stash. It was very easy and probably took about an hour. I already have the fabric combination for another one sitting on my sewing table.
Here she is sporting the new duds:
Charlotte had her baby blessing this past Sunday at our church. She wore a dress that my Great Grandmother Brown made for my mother. My sisters and I were also blessed in the dress - so it's been used for three generations now! I loved the concept of using such a special family heirloom for my daughter. I should've taken a better picture of the dress, petticoat, and bonnet, but here we are on that special day:

The dress you made is sooo sweet! It's so special that Charlotte got to wear a family heirloom. I love that my kids were both christened in the dress my Mom made for me. Special memories: )
