Queen Victoria

My submission for the Daily Download challenge, using the Sew Quilty kit by Simple Girl Scraps and Sandy Pie Creations. template is from Shabby Princess // fonts are Jane Austen and Nella Sue

journaling: At the young age of 15 my great-great-great-grandmother, Janet Sweeney, was asked by Queen Victoria herself to come to the palace to help sew the dress for her wedding to Prince Albert! Janet spent many weeks at the palace sewing the beautiful gown that has been lauded as the first in the tradition of white wedding gowns. It was this same gown that was the inspiration for a christening gown made for Queen Victoria's daughter a year later and has been worn by royal babies for 172 years, including the most recent addition to the royal family - Prince George. What a legacy!

Wonderful photos and LO...awesome heritage story. Did she also swe the christening gown? Great job layering the papers and clustering the element. The kit colors work well with the photos.
