My little sister's dress is now finished!

So a few weeks ago, I made a post saying that I'd started making a dress for my little sister's birthday. I finished making it probably later on that day, but I didn't manage to make a post about it until now.

Here is the finished dress! I'm so excited about it :D

This is a close up on the eyelet lace I used. I got it from a local craft shop. I think it gives the dress a nice vintage feel.
This is a close up of the bodice. The buttons here are just a decoration and the bow is attached to a brooch pin and so it's removable.
This is a close up of the fabric used... just ignore the creases, lol!

I also had a picture of it from behind but it has somehow managed to disappear... My sister also found a cute straw hat to go with it.
Isn't it cute? I also made a little bow to put on it but she's keeping that in a safe place.

Crafts with Sapphire is now a year old!

I just realised the over day that my I made this blog just over a year ago :) I'm quite surprised as I never thought I could keep a blog for this long.

In the past year I've managed to some how get 1,500 hits on my blog. Unfortunately, I'm still to shy to allow comments... so I lose out a lot there. I hope I'll manage to keep up with this blog for another year ;)

The progress on my Etsy store is also back on. I will be using this blog to update my progress :)
