This sweet pattern features SEVERAL combinations and sizes of growing hearts AND flowers. We decided to use the hearts for this test for a special Valentines Day themed dress.

If you've never done any hand embroidery before, don't worry! The pattern walks you through every stitch used, and it's so easy to sit and embroider while watching a show with the family.

I used the baby size for square bodice for this project because I decided to use the Bellevue pattern to showcase the embroidery.

I love the sweet Bellevue dress!

Of course, we also layered up with the new Galena pattern.

I know it might seem intimidating, but it is actually very relaxing to do hand embroidery, and you'll be finished before you even know it!
