My Valentine

This is my third entry in the Lil Blue Boo & Dharma Trading Design Challenge! I made this dress a few weeks ago, but had issues getting my model to "work with me". My parents came down this weekend and I took advantage of them being here ~ my mom helped me keep my model happy!

It's been cold here in Kansas City and we've had lots of snow, which means it really hasn't been "dress weather". For that reason, I decided to make Abigail a dress out of old thermal shirts, in the classic combination of pink and brown. I used the Sienna dress pattern, which is the first pattern I bought. And, I love how it turned out!! I used part of the pink shirt to make the heart applique.

I also made her a little hair clip to go with it. She's finally letting me put clippies in her hair. Before, she would just pull them out, so I'm not sure what changed (I believe it was lots of coaxing by Pam, her babysitter ~ Thank you!), but I'm oh-so-happy about it!

A flower? For Me?!

Kisses, for you!
(this is her new kiss face)

A clippie to match!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I used freezer paper stencling to make the heart
