Sweat and Tears....

that is what makes a patchwork dress for a baby!! OMG, I am done Whew!! I can hardly believe I finished. It was gather after gather after gather and then the longest ruffle that I have ever seen. But it did not beat me and it is fantastic! I made in 18 months size and I actually wish I would have gone a bit bigger I think that bigger patches would have been easier to work with but it also would have meant a ton more fabric. Here is the finished dress, enjoy because this is not a pattern I plan to repeat often.

Back

and just to show you how full the skirt really is

My next project is working on a few dresses for my first paying customer!!

I think it is beautiful. Now, what are you charging for that? $350.00 or $400.00? I think it's priceless!

It is beautiful. You should keep it for little miss so she can have something mama made. Her in it in pictures and as a keepsake. I have a green dress that was special to me that I wore as a baby that grandma c bought and I still have it. Tender memories.

That is absolutely beautiful!!! Wow what an adorable dress for your sweet girl!

Jim, Thanks for your honest post on AAO this morning. I followed it up and hope I didn't offend you guys at all. I know how difficult this wait can be. It must be even harder thinking BB was coming soon and the lack of communication from them has not helped. :(
Hugs,
