WARNING: This post contains A LOT of super amazing pictures.
If you're not in the picture mood, this post may not be for you.
If you arrrrrreeeeee......
Brace yourself.
Do you have any talented friends?! Don't you just wanna brag on them sometimes? Especially if you know the blog world will appreciate them!
Well you see, there's this girl and her name is Valerie. She pretty much is awesome, but x10.
No, x100.
((as some of you know, she made my oh-so-perfect birthday dress))
Yesterday she posted her latest sewing creation and I just HAD to share it with you all!
She's lovely right?! And so is that dress. Holy smokes.
Check out some of her other pieces of art.
{PS, trying to narrow done her threads is tough when you like them all, so I just randomly picked}
Did you just love them?!?!
Well, that's not all!
Not only does Valerie make great clothes for herself, she SHARES the love with her friends too! Even over halfway across the country.
((Did I mention she lives in NYC? No. Well, she does)).
Like I said before, she made my birthday dress:
My apologizes for the sucky-o-la picture/posing quality readers & Val. You both deserve better.
She also made Kendra's wedding dress this summer:
Doesn't Ken make a gorgeous bride?!
Gorgeous bride+gorgeous dress=
SO GORGEOUS.
Recently, she has been working with Kendra and other aspiring sewers {errr, seamstresses(?)... Whatev} on sewing lessons.
Check out the girls aprons they made via Skype.
Adorable, right?!
Kendra is becoming quite the sewing pro as well.
Oh, and I cannot leave out her husbands wonderful Halloween costume from 2009. Can you guess what movie he's from??
