One Tiny Step Closer

I am THIS CLOSE to being done with the baby dress.  Having never used hammered-on snaps before, I ended up destroying more snaps than I needed, so a trip to the store is in order to buy more snaps.


However, I did make one of the baby headbands!  This headband is adorable.  Do you see the tiny bow?  I mean, DO YOU SEE the tiny bow?!?  It is SO cute!  (For comparison, it's being modeled on a clothes hanger; The headband is about 1 inch wide.)  It wasn’t too hard to make.  I think the hardest part was figuring out how to turn fabric tubes inside out.  I’m pretty sure I did it the hard way and will try a different tactic when I make the second headband.  I also hope the headband isn’t too big.  Again, I had to turn to the internet for baby measurements; however, I didn’t realize that while making the headband, you end up stretching it a little while you are sewing it, so I hope it’s not too big.  I will try to make the second headband a little smaller.  Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find more snaps.
