Happy First Birthday, Chloe!!

A special little friend of mine turned one this week. Her mommy wanted something special to wear both on her birthday and at her party. She did some internet searching and found a couple precious outfits, but one was over $80! She figured I could come up with something, so we got to work. We quickly settled on a reversible A-line dress (Martha Pullen, size 1), with two different applique designs. Jenn bought the fabric, ribbon and buttons, then came over and we picked out applique fabric and threads together.

Side One, which she wore to church Wednesday, her actual birthday:

The "1" is from Chubby Wubby Applique Numbers from GG Designs, and the font is Tinker Toy from 8 Claws and a Paw.


Side Two, which she wore today at her party (these pictures aren't that great...):

The applique cake is from Lynnie Pinnie. I added the text with Embird Alphabet #33.

I had my camera with me both Wednesday and today, but failed to take pictures of Chloe, mainly because it's hard to do while holding Dashiell. BUT our mutual friend Glenda took pictures of Chloe this week. You can see a preview on Glenda's Photography blog, and later next week I'll add a few of Glenda's shots to this post so you can see how precious Chloe looks in her dress!
