Happy Valentine's Day!

Posted by Laura on February 10, 2012 at 10:00 AM




Some of you are new to my blog and didn't see the month long series dedicated to Valentine's Day on my blog last year so here is a quick recap for some fun ideas!  You can also search "Valentine's Day" on my search button above to see all the posts from last year.



The Sweetheart Apron pattern is free and found under the Free Patterns & Projects tab at the top.



This is my super popular Ayano pattern in a pretty pink/red floral print.  This comes in sizes 1-5 but after many requests last year, I also published Pixie Girl, a similar pattern for sizes 4-12 shown below:


I guess I HAVE made a lot of dresses in red...it is my favorite color.  Laurie still has some of this fabric, I think, in her sale section at Adorable Heirlooms!





Ellie's Christmas dress would also make a really nice Valentine's Day dress.  This is my Miss Mary Mack pattern with the free variations that I've published on my website to create the organza overlay.  Barbara at Fine Stitchery has created a beautiful document that she is including in her paper patterns of Miss Mary Mack that is very clear and easy to understand with the variations:  www.finestitchery.com




And I have to show you Jacob's Valentine's box he made for school today.  I had to be gone to a friend's house last night so Aaron helped him.  They had it almost done when I got home.  I think they had a lot of fun together and it turned out so cute!  You can see part of painting I've been doing in the house...red wall...what else!  I'll show the house stuff that's been keeping me busy another time.  The sewing room is next and I'm really excited for that.






Soo...last year, I offered a special Valentine's Day sale which I kind of forgot.  So, I will do the same thing this year!  Starting today until midnight Tuesday night (2/14), BUY ONE, GET ONE HALF OFF of all my e-patterns!!  Click on the special sale button in my pattern shop!





Ellie and I are baking all day today making individual ballerina cakes for her party tomorrow so...no time to sew today or take pictures!


Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Where is the "special sale" button in the pattern shop? Couldn't find it to purchase 2nd e pattern at half off.
Thanks for your help.

Here is the sale button: http://www.ellieinspired.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2946545

You need to start first with your full price pattern and then add the half price to your cart. You should be able to order as many as you want. Email me if you need any other help. I can just invoice you too. Thanks!
