Sneak Peek of Two Little Blessing Dresses

We're having so much fun picking out all the details of these little dresses. I thought I would show you the process of making the diamond grid.  I just drew it on the back, with pencil, first. 
 Next, I ironed the lines I would be sewing on.  I thought I would sew all one direction first and then all the other direction, second...but I misjudged how much it would take to cut out two bodices.  Learn as you go!  : )

 I made these three little roses, below, but we're still deciding on that. 
 My younger daughter, Sara, took these photos of the little sisters recently.  Great job, girl!!  : )

                                                       Sweet Dreams!
