This is cute and definitely something my grandmother would have loved!
We had these dresses made for our daughters for baby blessings and baptism. So beautiful!
So adorable! Your book review on sewing for a royal baby has inspired me. Love the idea of sewing heirloom christening gowns from family wedding dresses. I don’t have a daughter to hand down my wedding dress but if I am blessed with grandchildren, I will definitely consider repurposing it.
What a great review for the book Sewing For A Royal Baby. I really admire people with the talent and patience to sew!
The outfits in the Royal Baby Book are so beautiful! What a great idea to sew wedding gowns into christening gowns. Most brides choose their own dress anymore, so it’s a great way to pass the dress down. My oldest was christened in a family heirloom from my then-husband’s side of the family. It was a special moment for sure.
What a fun book – Sewing for a Royal Baby! I didn’t even know such a book would exist but would thoroughly enjoy looking through this one. I’m sure it’s such an honor to sew such important pieces for others.
Sewing for the Royal Baby looks perfect for the one who enjoys creating christening gowns and special outfits. Such beautiful pieces!
The Royal Baby Book sounds fantastic! We had no idea that it existed. Thank you for sharing.
