Baby Boutenier

We’re going on a cruise to Mexico with the extended family next week (yay, warm weather!) Since we’ll all be together, my mom thought it would be a good opportunity to take a family portrait with four generations. So everyone is bringing something nice to wear that is black/white so that we will sort of match. A friend of mine from church is letting me borrow her baby’s little tuxedo for my one year old. It’s adorable! There used to be a little silk rosebud sewn on, but one of her babies ripped it off several years ago. So I decided to make my own. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. What do you think? I used scraps from a couple of other projects to pull it together, silky fabric and tulle for the flower, and eco-felt for the leaves and stem.
