Summer Dress with Matching Bonnet

So I was brave. 

I had a baby shower to go to tonight, and I decided to make my gift.

I usually do a car seat tent, or something simple but I was crazy and decided to whip up a dress.

ON the day of the shower.

Crazy. Me. This 

But it turned out sweet and simple.

(Too bad I didn't hang it straight on the hanger... whoops)

I didn't use any one specific tutorial... just kind of made what I thought would look cute.

I mainly decided to make it because I wanted to give bonnet making a whirl.

I think I'd adjust a few things next time, but it still turned out pretty sweet.

Oh, and I just HAD to figure out shirring on my new machine.

It worked beautifully. 

Have a baby shower you need a gift for?

Craft. Me. This.
