Here are the matching dresses. The fabric has a little bit of glitter on it which you can't see in the photos.

I made Abby's a little thinner because she is very thin and I wanted it to fit.

Kaylee's dress is made a little wider.

Here are the bows I made to match. I actually made them during chemo.

Here is the pattern envelope. I did the blue and white dress but used all the same fabric.

Here is the back view. It has two cute buttons which I love.

Here are the girl's Valentine Day's outfits.

I used coordinating fabrics for the skirt. The shirt is appliqued with hearts. The bows are from a few years ago.

Because I didn't have enough fabric to make exact matching skirts I switched the colors.

Here is a close up of the shirt. I cut out hearts using the matching fabric. I infused them to the shirt then did a zig-zag stitch all around the hearts. Very easy!

Here is the pattern I used for the skirts. I liked the skirts so much that I am planning on making the dress with the shrug.

This is the pattern envelope. I did the dress on the top right.

This is Abby's dress. I think this is the first time her dress actually fits.

Here is Kaylee's dress. I love how the two fabrics look together.

Here is the back. The pattern called for 4 buttons but I found larger buttons so I only used 3. I also didn't like how the straps in the back turned out. It would have made more sense to move them closer to the arm holes.

Here is a picture of the headband. I took some fabric and made a rolled rose. Then hot glued it to some felt. I then hot glued it to the headband.

Here is a picture of the "petals" on the front of the dress. I love how these turned out.

Felt Headbands

Here are the headbands I made for my niece's birthday. Abby was kind enough to model them (although she wasn't a very happy model.) This one is snowflakes. I hot glued jewels on the snowflakes to give them a little sparkle.

This one is a flower. I just layered two different colors and sizes and sewed a button in the middle.

This one is three flowers that I layered.

This one I cut individual petals and arranged them to make a flower then put a yellow piece in the center.

This one is stacked circles. I used my pinking shears to make the zigzag.

This one is my favorite. I cut different sized circles. On some I used my pinking shears to make the zigzag while others I left alone.
