Project #2

I made a dress for a friend's birthday this week, so I decided to make a duplicate for Avery. That's 4 total, including my first 2.
Same pattern, different fabric. It's a step-by-step process, but I'm loving this sewing stuff!

My mother-in-law suggested I think of something creative & consistent to add to each of my "projects", and I decided on heart-shaped buttons. She gave me these old hand-painted buttons, so I found it only fitting to add this to my first on-my-own dress for Avery.


These labels were also passed down, from my grandmother. I love them.
