My best friend, and creative advisor Lauren invited me to come over and gain some instruction in sewing. I chose my first project to be a pillowcase dress. So, I bought an amazing fabric bundle from an etsy shop , a cute pattern and watched a youtube tutorial from The Crafty Gemini and went to work. With MUCH instruction and patience from Lauren, and 8 hours later (I know it's sad really). I finally finished the dress. I couldn't be happier with it, and I cannot WAIT to make the next one.
Olivia liked it so much, that she chewed on the bows most of the time, so I couldn't really get an AMAZING picture of her in it. But they're cute all the same.
So this is me, in March, still holding strong to my New Year's Resolution and feeling like a more complete, confident woman because of it. I'm so excited for what the rest of the year brings!

Oh my gosh! That is so, so cute! I want to attempt to make one. You are going to need to give me the details on how you got a bundle of fabric from etsy.
