Valentine’s day is coming up……..

Whether you’re going on a special date or staying home for a candlelit dinner with your sweetheart, we’ve got the dress patterns for the occasion. Check out these dresses for some inspiration, bring out the fabric stash and get sewing!

Valentine’s day is such a lovely time to dress up and what could be better than to do so in a dress you have made yourself? We’ve gathered some of our favorite dress patterns that we think are perfect for Tuesday’s romantic evening or why not for any other occasion as well!



Red and pink are classic Valentine’s day colors and these dresses are timeless. The pink Full skirted dress with cut-out bustline is a popular classic. (Check out the photos from member’s variations of this dress by clicking the link as well) The top right Plus Size Dress With Pin Tucks gives a gorgeous silhouette and best of all, it’s quick and easy to sew!



Our Red High-Waist Cap Sleeve Dress, based on the Long Black Gown requires a bit more work but the result is so worth it.
If you’re not so in to all the red…..
