Emerson's New Dress

My good friend Vanessa's daugther Emerson turned one last week, and I made her this simple, fun dress for a special gift.

It is the first dress I have ever made, so the project was really fun. It actually turned out quite nicely for my first time, lined and everything!

To make, I took inspiration from some simple dress patternsI found online, and then created my own dress by combining features of two dress patterns.

Here are the links to the sites I used:

I found this fun fabric at M&L Fabrics in Anaheim, and added ribbon and button trim to the front and back.

Can't wait for my next one, as always big plans, lots of ideas, no time....................................................
