Birthday outfit for my youngest

Birthday preparations and holiday preparations are quite tough together... Since we mostly stayed with friends or members of www.bewelcome.org , holiday preparations included quite a lot of sewing, too: we try to bring some small gifts to our hosts - will show a picture one day.

Anyway, once we were back, I still had two days to go till my sweet little daughter would turn one! I had to sew a dress for Florina (see post below), embroider and sew the number for the birthday crown and make a dress for my cute birthday girl (ah yeah, and a cake, too!)

Here it is:

and here with the birthday crown

The mouse etc. has been embroidered free hand

birthday dress and crown for my dear daughter

For my daughter's birthday I made a dress from velour knit with freehand machine embroidery.

It's my first freehand embroidery!

Only the '3' was made with the embroidery unit of my brother innovis 900

The Kam Snaps are reenforced with leather flowers.

I also managed to sew a crown with velcro number so that it can be re-used every year.
