What a great way to start the new year! She’s precious and perfect (both of which I am sure you already know)

Dubhels2003- I have a long standing love of vintage patterns. I’ve had these patterns in my stash for awhile, & wanted to sew them, but just hadn’t sewn them for whatever reason. So glad I did!
