A few days of vacation
Posted by: moose845 on: July 31, 2008

My mother and sister helped us do the kitchen, the breakfast room, and the hall. It took us four days to do these rooms. [...]

Made by Rae has this tutorial to make this Itty Bitty baby dress. She gives you the pattern for a newborn and for a 1-3 month old little girl. Amber from Inspiration for Crafting enlarged the original dress to fit a toddler (I believe a 3T). You can find the pattern here.
Amber’s site shows several ways to [...]
