This is kinda like Mom's late-night posts about strange things...
I'm back in my sewing "groove" and I've finally finished the jacket that goes with the dress that gave me so much fitting trouble. No pics yet... I made my first covered buttons and now I'm hooked! They're so AWEXOME! Ish read somewhere that it's easier to make covered buttons if you wet the fabric down first. It was super easy and I'm tempted to start sewing more stuff with butons so I can make more covered buttons. Did I mention that *covered buttons* are awexome? Well they are.
I have yet to finish the pink and black polka dot dress... Hopefully it will emerge *finished* from the basement in the very near future. Really. I mean it.
Mom and I both love this wedding gown. It's got to be the best wedding dress pattern I've ever seen. The best part is that it's a *winter* dress! Reason for a winter wedding: Dad would want to have the reception in our back yard if it was a summer wedding. Ack! Can you imagine preparing for that? No! No! No! I would be out mixing cement to finish off the Italian wall thingy the day before. (or some such nonsense) Need I say more? I thought of that reason *YEARS* ago. Honestly. I think I came up with it right after Dad started talking about back yard wedding receptions.
Well... that was all not-so random. More like plain-old dress obsessed.
Well, that made me smile in so many ways.
Lovely post, Anan. Can't wait to see the new jacket with the awexome covered buttons. Good for you!
I suppose DoRena can be thankful she doesn't have a father who even knows what an Italian wall-thingy is. But the mental picture of you out there mixing cement, probably in your wedding dress, that was priceless.
Joking... joking... We have pictures of me trowling cement somewhere. Hmm...
