Ok, not an embroidery project but I made this dress for my granddaughter. I have only been sewing for as long as she is old (18 months) so I was kind of excited that it turned out as well as it did and that it fit. Also, I actually had to do button holes so it really tested my lack of skills. Thank goodness my hubby bought me such a nice sewing/embroidery machine (Brother Inv 2800D). It really takes the guess work out of things!

It is so inspirational to have a lovely grandchild to sew for, and you have done a great job.

she is just so cute, great job for the first time

You did a wonderful job for a first time. Looks like it was bought from a posh boutique.

good job! better keep on sewing!

Oh I love ruffles! you did very nice job! I envy your machine! The baby is adorable. Looks like you may be a natural at sewing!

Very cute, the dress and the girl.

Cute dress for a cutie girl!

she's a cutie and so is the dress!

Well done you - she looks a real sweetie!

Congrats to you on learning to sew and using these God given skills on your precious Grandaughter!! Keep up the good work. I can see LOTS more cute garments in her future.Be sure to take a picture of each garment on her and date it on the back. That will be fun for her in years to come to remember.

Oh, so cute cute cute!! And the dress too.

She looks so adorable in ruffles and a cute bow. Congratulations on a job well done.

Your little granddaughter is precious and looks adorable in the beautiful dress you made for her. Great job!

Very pretty!

precious! i don't even remember the last time I did a button hole. The newew machines are a state of the art with button holes. I remember Bernina came out 25 yrs or more ago with programing the button hole and it would stitch it over and over. Now the programs are numerous. You just put the button on the screen and magic. It makes a button hole for that size. I do remember you should have a facing and some interfacing for the best results. Have fun with your new found skills!!! Kay

Congradulations great job it looks perfect, such a cute model too
