The Baptismal gown is done! Which is good since the Baptism was this past weekend. Even though Josie only wore it for about an hour, I'm really happy I made it. Not only did I learn some new things about sewing, it's a real boost to my ego that I can make something nice. Oh, it's by no means perfect. I could point out the mistakes. But unless you are better at sewing than me (yeah, Julie and Sarah, you can look away) you won't notice the mistakes.
I added the little flowers to the front for prettiness. I was going to add some more along the bottom seam but due to time I did not. I think it might have been overkill anyway.
The finishing touch was the shoes I found at the neighbor's garage sale. They are pink and cute!
I made cupcakes and Chris bought chocolate icing. I wanted to make little crosses out of sprinkles on each one but that didn't work out. I won't go into how many ways we tried to get it to work. Finally I just used the cupcakes themselves to make a cross.

It's beautiful (and so is the model)! Great job! It fits her so well. I always over-size things for kids and end up with an "oh, well, I guess you'll wear it to 2nd grade" dress instead. :)
The shoes are darling. Can I get a pair in my size?
