Wedding projects part II -- Flower girl dresses!!

After the invitations my next biggest assignment was the flower girl dresses for my baby sister's wedding in June!

I am sooooo happy to say that I finished them over the weekend!  I even got the flower headbands finished as well.  They turned out pretty cute.  I even got a chance to try my daughter's on her - it fit!  She couldn't help but lift up the circle skirt and swish.  I do think I need to make slips for the girls - with some fluffy tulle for added umph! so that is on the to do list still.

I can't wait to get professional pictures of the girls in the dresses - for now my home shots will have to do!

 Three little flower girl dresses all in a row!

 

The back of the dress, with a big coral bow!

 

Sweet fluffy coral flower headbands to bring the color up!

 

I have the flower girl baskets all cut out - lots and lots of pieces and layers! 

I found this cute pattern from Birdsong Patterns on etsy!  I think the girls will love them and they will be the perfect finishing touch to their sweet flower girl outfits!

 

So still plenty to work on - but at least a major to do has been checked off the list!  Ahhhh!!!

jeni ro designs trunk show!

Back in November before I officially launched my etsy shop - my sister had a trunk show for me at her house.  I spent the weeks leading up to it sewing, sewing, sewing away - so I had products to sell.  It was stressful but so exciting and worth it - having the show on the calendar gave me something to work towards and actually got me to open my etsy shop about a week earlier than I had originally planned.

A handful of people showed up - including one of my cousins and my best friend from high school.  I sold a few things and got some great feedback on my stuff - so it was a good night.  I even got a custom order!

Thanks so much to my sister Annie for hosting!!  Love that girl!  Check her out at her blog - http://withandwar.blogspot.com for spiritual inspiration!!

The lovely Miss Annie!  Oh and a cute sheep behind her on the table!  =)
