this is her first little mama-made dress:
the fabric was sent to me almost a year ago, along with a beautiful memory of it;
flourClothing double breasted day dress
"...opening the door to my parents bedroom and seeing the sun streaming in across the bed, my mom propped up on her pillows made from this fabric - as she read in the early morning."
i tucked this little piece of fabric away until i could use it for something special.
something as special as an old torn and ragged quilt made from a great grandmother's childhood dress. a memory passed down. a feeling that's now tangible enough to grab.
(thank you, claire.)

Oh, if you just want to make 3 of everything cute you make for your little one, I'm sure I could find 2 other baby girls to take the extras off your hands.
What a wonderful family you will have.

congratu-freakin-lations! A GIRL! I can't imagine what a girly version of Owen would look like but I'm excited to see it cuz she's gonna be the best dressed chica ever! I'm a little jealous--wish my mom sewed me cute sentimental dresses--and wish that I was a mom who could sew my girls some cute sentimental dresses. I did get my first ever sewing machine for Xmas but it has not come out of the box yet. You do inspire me to at least try a pillow case or something!
Congratulations! I had my little girl last, after 2 boys, and she's her own special pocket of joy. Plus sewing for girls is soooo fun. Love this dress.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress...and that is phasing that it holds special significance to you! She is gonna be such a hipster.
