This simple
baby dress is so easy – once you have made one you can use it as a base
to try
out a few variations.
For example ~
Why not make
this little dress in stripes?
Or try adding
a shell border…….
For a more lacy
effect – work the top as above – then use a cluster stitch for the skirt …..
this looks really great !
Go on have some fun ....
