a new dress

now that i'm at home with baby girl, i thought i'd have lots of extra time to do projects. don't babies sleep a lot?

well, i don't know what happens to my day, but the time runs away from me. i've had this fabric since september! and over the past four months, i've been slowly working on this onesie dress for baby girl's cousin, baby e. (i've also had to buy a larger sized onesie since baby e's growing faster than i'm sewing!)

i was so inspired when i saw my friend's baby wearing such a cute dress. (this was back in september, remember.) my friend shared the awesome link to her friend's blog -- barefoot in the kitchen, where you get the perfect tutorial on how to make your own onesie dress.

i happened to be heading home for a week, and while i was there my mom took me to this great little fabric store in the amish country. i ended up buying fabric to make eight of these dresses. so far, i've made two. they really are quite easy to do -- and super cute. i've just been moving ultra slow on this idea.

i'm hoping to finally get one done for cousin TJ and baby girl -- before they both grow out of the onesies i have for them! and i just found the cutest red and cream dog fabric -- maybe mrs. t would like one for her baby on the way?

That is DARLING! Makes me wish I had a baby girl to make one for (since I can't exactly make one of these for my boys...)
