Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Girls

Style: Casual, Cute, Retro / Vintage, Classic


Materials

Quilters cotton, and vintage lace.

What was your inspiration?

The lace pieces I used for the collar. A friend gave me several pieces of this vintage lace from her late mother-in-law's stash. I thought it would be fun to use some of it on a little dress for my friend's grand daughter.

What are you most proud of?

The heirloom stitching I used in place of pin-tucks, or lace trim.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just let the fabric dictate how you will embellish it.

very pretty, love the detail, in spite of some of the crazy 'adult'like clothes out there for kids, i love to sew my grand daughters more traditional clothes and they seem to love them- keep up the lovely sewing!

Thank you. This was really fun for me because I rarely get to sew for little girls anymore.
