What started as a fun $20 craft project turned into a way for me to cope with postpartum depression and bond with my daughter. I am NOT a professional seamstress, but I was inspired by my mother to hand sew costumes each month because of an Ariel costume she made for me when I was little. I’m sharing my story to let other struggling moms know they aren’t alone and hopefully the pictures will brighten someone’s day!

I'm loving these. I wish PPD wasn't real. I don't remember much of my daughter's baby years due to it. I spent most of it crying and being miserable when I had no reason to be. No one understood. Kudos to you for turning it into something artistic and beautiful.

Thank you, and thank you for sharing your PPD experience. It is very confusing and frustrating how you are so happy to have a wonderful baby and don’t understand why you’re so sad, it is hard to explain.

Your baby is beautiful, and you're blessed with a wonderful mind for turning such a hard predicament like PPD into such fairytaley dresses and pictures (even if you weren't the photographer yourself). I hope once your daughter is grown you both can look back at those pictures with joy.

Thank you. I’m fortunate Heather and Lisa (photographers I mentioned) came into my life and helped me through this journey. It definitely wasn’t easy dealing with PPD, but I can’t help but be happy when I look at these pictures!
