Valentine's day

Valentine's day is coming up fast and this year is a leap year.  Tradition says that on a leap year the lady can ask her lover or boyfriend to marry her, but must wear a red petticoat when she does this.  I plan to make a few red petticoats to list in my Etsy shop for the ladies out there planning to pop the question this year.  If you would like a pettycoat made for you.  Go to my etsy shop www.etsy.com/shops/pettycoatjane and convo me with your size and whether you want a 50's style net petticoat or the traditional red Flannel style petticoat.  The price of the petticoats is around £20

Prom

Wow! I did not know prom was such a big deal.  My daughter has decided that she wants to make her own dress.  Having seen the price of prom dresses I am really pleased about this.   She will design it and I will find the patterns that will enable us to make.  It will be a great mother daughter project.
Prom seems almost like a wedding apparently you need to have hair, make-up and nails all done and looking perfect.  There was nothing like this when I was in high school.  Times are a changing.
After Christmas I will make up a couple of prom dresses to put in my Etsy Shop - Pettycoatjane.
