Learning to Sew

I recently made a nearly identical dress to the one I wrote about earlier. I had a lot of the fabric left and decided to make a dress for another friend’s daughter. This little girl is only seven months old, so the dress is obviously much smaller than the toddler dress, but the same design.

I found it to be much easier this time around because I had learned from my mistakes the previous time. Her mom said that she would likely be wearing a shirt under the dress, since it is fall now, so I made the top bigger. This will both allow room for the shirt underneath, as well as make it easier to get the dress on, a problem encountered with the previous dress.

This is what the new dress looks like. It is finished, although I may add an iron-on patch to the front.
