The Girl With 100 (er... 3) Dresses

I've really brought out my "Jennifer Trend" side the last few weeks. Here are some of my creations:
Exhibit A: "The Francy" This pink-toned dress with a tiny floral print was made bn my me without a pattern:

Exhibit B: "Floral Dream" My first attempt at using a baby dress pattern, which was actually much harder. Sleeves are much harder than they look, people. These sleeves were sewn on backwards. I'm just going to pretend I did that on purpose. I like this one because it falls all the way to the floor.

Exhibit B: "The Betty" This red and white checkerboard vintage fabric really is vintage fabric. A woman in my ward was giving away some her old fabric, and I got this, among a few other treasures. I used the pattern as a reference for this dress, along with some of my own ideas. And I actually sewed the sleeves on correctly!
Here are some recent milestones in Francesca's life:
-She has two teeth, both bottom
-She crawls occasionally,  mostly army-style, but I've seen her on her hands and knees a few times
-She thinks Michael and Wesley are hilarious, she will laugh and laugh until giving herself the hiccups
-She has lass than eight weeks until her first birthday!
-She has recently recoved from two double ear infections, back to back. We are so grateful she is all better.
-Just a few hours ago, while taking pictures of her in her new dress, she stood up for a few seconds all on her own! (first time ever!)
-She has a huge appetite, with lamb, beef, oatmeal, pears, carrots, and sweet potato puffs being her favorites.
-She is an awesome sleeper, thank goodness, usually sleeping from 8:00PM-7:00AM
-She brings such a sweet beautiful spirit into our lives, and our home. We can't imagine life without her!

Budding Fashionista


You'll never guess who made Francesca's skirt.
Yep, it was me! I got a new sewing machine for Christmas from my parents and I am so excited to create a whole bunch of pretty little things.
Francesca Betty is sooooo lucky to have her own personal designer, me, Jennifer Trend to design her clothing. Couture for an eight month old? Yep.
