A new(born) dress for Beatrice

Newborn dress, originally uploaded by things to make and do.

My cousin and his wife had a little baby girl yesterday, welcome into the world Bea and congratulations Luke and Em!
I had crocheted this ripple blanket, but I wanted to make something a bit 'girlie'. Ofcourse me being me, I decided I wanted to do this about 2 hours before going to visit, hmm, when will I learn? Anyhoo, above is the result.
I quickly drew up a pattern with the aid of a newbornish sized teddy bear, found some cute pink fabric from my stash (also it has bee's on it which I love) cut it, sewed it, pressed it and sewed it some more! It's reversible and can work as a top when she grows out of it as a dress. Yay, now I want to make some more!
