I'm still recycling my 1980's-era Laura Ashley dress. This time I used some of the fabric to sew a skirt onto a basic white onesie creating a tiny, comfortable summer dress for Baby Sister.
Cuing off the touches of pink in the floral design I added a strip of pink hand-crocheted lace {a thoughtful gift from Val} at the empire waist. The bit of lace is just long enough to be knotted neatly in the back creating a darling sash.
While I love the dress, it doesn't do justice to the lace. However, I'm certain Val will delight in knowing that her gift is being enjoyed, so I carefully basted the dainty trim onto the dress by hand. When Baby Sister grows out of this dress I can easily remove the lace and use it on another girly project.
