Other things I made

Hello my friends! Hope you are having a great day! I don't have a paper craft project to show you today, but I have a couple of other things I like to do too! I love to sew!! and the other day I made a dress for my daughter and for the little girl I babysit. They both love their dresses and that made me happy.
FYI I didn't use any patterns, everything was cut on the spot and I think I did good, LOL


My Becca modeling her new dress.

Just cover her face to protect her identity. The ribbon I used is from American Crafts :)
Just a little favor, please DO NOT copy these pictures. Few months ago I found out somebody copied few pictures of my daughter I shared here, that scares me a lot to be honest. I will appreciate if you respect this.

Hope you enjoy these creations I made.
I am working on more project to share with you soon! I will be back with some paper craft projects.

Have a great day!!
