I've found myself struggling to make items of clothing for myself and though maybe I should start off with something more simple. So I crocheted a newborn dress to give to a friend of mine when she has her baby girl, which should be any day now. She was due on this past Tuesday (4/12) and the little one just doesnt want to come out! She is being served an eviction notice on Thursday (4/21). I really like the way this turned out!
Its a full length empire waist dress that frills out so nicely. I can't wait to give it to her!
I got the pattern for this dress out of the book "Oh Baby! Crochet". I did run into a few problems using the newborn pattern, but with some tweaking I was able to make it work.
