A dress for Emma

I've never made a dress before, so this was a first!

The pattern was very simple-- no zippers and no buttons. I purchased the pattern from
Mani-Mina, a shop on Etsy. I bought a couple other simple dress patterns from her that I'm excited to try out.

This dress was made by using her Chic Everyday Dress pattern. I can't wait to try it out by pairing it with different fabrics for the dress body and sleeves. It was my first try at it, so I used fabric that I wouldn't mind if it went to waste. The next dress will be done using some really pretty discontinued Heather Ross prints.





I also made her a matching headband to go with her new dress. Did I ever mention how much fun it is to dress up little girls? Too much fun.
