I really got into sewing when my daughter was born, and over the years, I’ve sewn her countless dresses, princess costumes, and everyday outfits. But there’s something so special about creating dresses for those big, memorable moments. 💖 Growing up, my mom made me my homecoming, prom, and even my wedding dress — and now, being able to carry on that tradition for my own daughter is a dream come true. 🥰
