welcome Ximena!!

"A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."

Eda J. Le Shan quotes

Been so busy I didnt have time to photograph this proyect before handling it to it's rightfull owner jeje.
Loved stitching this little tortoise but far beyond that, I loved how it fits on little Ximena.

This is the very first time I stitch on knits....not so cool..jajaja really they are soo unstable and delicate. Took me a while to get into the rightway of introducing the needle without distorting the fabric; I wanted neither the design nor the bodysuit to be missshaped. As it should be done, I used some stabilizing fabric for the stitching process and ended up with this little lilac tortoise.

Sadly the shoes I crocheted were too small for her. Maybe if I use double yarn strands or a heavier yarn.
