What a cute dress! I didn’t see yours before I made my 2 pillowcase dresses… I think I’ll try ribbon for the tie like you did! Thanks!

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL… WOULD YOU BE SO KIND AND PLACE A HOW-TO, I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SEW AND I’M SCARED, I WOULD’NT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. THIS ADORABLE LITTLE DRESS COULD BE MY INTRODUCTION INTO SEWING. I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE ONE FOR MY BABY GIRL.
