My first sewn gown!!!

I finally finished my first sewn burial gown from a wedding dress. It took me forever. I have never sewn anything other than pillows before and the pattern alone was a lot of work. My biggest challenge was the sleeves since they were gathered and attached separately. I absolutely love this dress but I don't think I will do another one quite like this. I hope that eventually I get faster at making these gowns, as a month for one dress is too long in my opinion. Anyways here she is, and I really hope that some family can find comfort in their little one getting to wear this. Thanks again to the wonderful ladies who donated their dress to the Angels!!
