A friend of mine recently had a newborn. Her little girl is so sweet and precious. I wanted to make something just as sweet for her. I searched the Internet and found lots of knitting and crocheting patterns of baby girl clothes.
After some deliberation, I decided to try crocheting a dress. I chose a somewhat easy pattern and got to work. However, it didn’t go smoothly. Somehow the dress came out much smaller. After completing half of it, I had to tear it apart and start all over. The second attempt wasn’t successful either. And only the third attempt brought the desired results.
The tiny buttons that I used for the dress I bought a few months ago at Joann’s Fabrics. The store was moving to a new bigger location and they had a good sale there. I bought several sets of five buttons for only twenty-five cents each. At that moment I had no idea what I would use the buttons for, but I knew that some day they would be useful.
Now it is your turn. Do you have anything handmade to tell us about? Please link below. If you are joining Handmade Monday for the first time, the guidelines are here.

This little dress is precious as precious can be. I'm sure your friend will cherish it even long after it doesn't fit her baby girl. I love to crochet and hope to someday soon have a grand daughter who I can make sweet dresses for. Save the pattern...I may need it! :)

That little dress is precious. I am sure the other will be very pleased. You did a super job on making it. I used to do a lot of handwork, but never this. Very well done.
What a beautiful little dress! I have a fondness for baby clothing. This is just gorgeous! You did a great job on the Epcot architecture quiz. Thanks for stopping by. I posted the answers, it is already the third post down. I had a busy day.:)

hi olga! i want to thank you for visiting my blog earlier and leaving your kind comment! I've joined your followers and also Handmade Monday. Your little pale pink crocheted dress is so soft and lovely. One day I may be able to make such pretty crocheted things but I must practice practice practice!
Olga, the dress is beautiful... you're ery talented!
This little dress is a very special gift and it brings back special memories. It reminds me so much of the pink crocheted dress I brought my daughter home from the hospital in. I laid her on a crocheted blanket , surrounded her with flowers and took her first picture at home.
So pretty, what a lucky baby and new mom!!
