I love Valentine’s Day. I know there are those who don’t but I just love all the hearts, the glue, the glitter, the candy. We got some terrible news from a friend earlier in the week though that has dampened my spirits this year. I did get Katie’s valentine dress made a couple of weeks ago and it turned out really cute, if I do say so myself. The snowflakes on the bodice are felt shapes that are meant for scrapbooking but they’ve been through the wash a few times and still look great, I just top-stitched them on. The fabrics for the skirt are from the Two Young Street line by Marcus Brothers. I didn’t use a pattern, just the size 7/8 dress form — did you guys know I got a dress form for my birthday last Autumn? The bottom trim is white ball fringe. Katie loves the dress, despite the look in the last photo and it should fit her next year as well.
I hope all is well with you. You’ve been so kind to me- I hope that good things come back to you, exponentially greater. happy valentines, friend.
I like Valentine’s Day too. It’s a very cozy holiday to me.
Hope the bad news settles itself out and that good things are on the way
Happy V-Day Jennifer!
That picture of the two kids together is wonderful!
Oh my, that photo of the two of them is just the sweetest of things. I’m for all expressions of love, not just exclusively the romantic sort. So Valentine’s has become a reminder to spread that love around.
hope you had a good one! cute dress.
sending big hugs your way. that dress is adorable!
I absolutely love your blog!!! It always makes me smile when I read it!!! I was intrigued that you used a dress form to make your daughter’s dress—I have been thinking about purchasing one for myself and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to share what type you have. Thanks so much!!! Have a great weekend!!!
