keepsake. for Mia.

When my friend told me her new granddaughter had arrived, I set about sewing a little blouse. I wanted a gentle, old-fashioned feeling for this garment.

 I chose the Family Reunion pattern from oliver + s, my favorite patterns for babies and children. Very tiny white leaves appear in an overall pattern on off-white cotton fabric.

 Dusty pink flower buttons imported from Spain provide closure down the back while tiny pink vintage buttons add charming detail in front.
All to welcome a precious little girl and celebrate her birth!

There's always something fun going on in the studio.
Thanks for stopping by.
xo, Nancy
