Tips from the show

• You can paper-piece the dress by stamping onto patterned paper and cutting out the dress shape for added texture.
• Leave some white space in the design; it doesn't need to be completely filled with hearts.
• This design works for many occasions beyond birthdays—adapt the sentiment to suit the occasion.
