The First Little Dress

Yesterday I spent the better part of Emilia's two naps making my first Little Dress for Africa. Though I'd sewn numerous quilt tops and a handful of teddy bears, I'd never before sewn an article of clothing. Granted, the pattern isn't terribly difficult. In fact, these dresses are often made from pillow cases. The hardest parts, I found, were making my own bias tape, getting it to lie relatively flat around the arm holes, and taking pictures of my little model in which her face and the dress were clearly showing but her diaper was not! All in all, I'm pretty pleased with my work. Both the dress and the sweet girl inside!
