It's coming up to my little niece's 1st birthday so I have been thinking what to get her; she has so many different toys. I decided to search the net to get some inspiration, & I came across this cute little dress from
Jellybeans.

I thought about buying it as it's so cute, but I remembered about some fabric which was left over from some upholstered notice boards I had made. My mind was made up, I would have a go at making it myself & when Charlotte grows out of it, it would look lovely in her bedroom on a pretty hanger on her bedroom wall.

The cute little buttons are from Francheville.

I cut out some flower shapes to add a contrast on to the fabric, using interfacing to hold it in place while sewing the sequins around the flowers, instead of using an applique stitch.

It just has to be finished off with an accessory and what better than a little head scarf. She will look so cute! Happy Birthday Charlotte!
