I found this pretty pillow case at my favorite thrift store for 50¢. I also picked out a cute newborn dress pattern for 25¢.
I put snaps on the back for the closer. They are easier to install than sewing button holes with my sewing machine. The snaps are also easy to use.
I kept the detailed boarder of the pillow case and used it at the bottom edge of the skirt.
I did make a minor mistake. I caught a small amount of the sleeve when I sewed the seam conecting the sleeve to the bodice.
The tuck would only be noticed if I pointed it out. I chose to leave it there. Who knows, if I took it out and tried to redo it I may have caused a worse problem. I have done that to myself before.
I really like the detail of this casing on the sleeves. I think it is cute!
This dress is a gift to our neighbor, who just had a baby girl. I hope she likes it!
I had fun creating something pretty for a little girl. With only boys of my own, I don't get that chance all that often. :)
