Blessing Dress

My latest project has been a blessing dress for my sweet little niece who was born the beginning of June. She is my baby sisters baby. Does life fly by or what? This was quite the project I took on, but so much fun. I read sewing basic books and did a lot of research before I even attempted this project. I learned how to do french seams and a whole bunch of other techniques that I was excited to learn. It turned out well and hopefully I'm the only one who notices all the opps and ah oh's.
Here I am with my darling niece. The blessing was wonderful. I loved seeing my baby sister become a mother. She is the best. And there is no one else on earth who treats my sister and niece with more love and tenderness than my sister's husband. How blessed I am to be surrounded by such amazing people. I love my family, and I love showing them by doing these kinds of projects.
