WEEKEND....THANK GOODNESS

Hopefully, I will get to do some sewing this weekend. I always have great plans, but then they bomb because either somethingelse more important comes up or I'm just too pooped to pop.

No sewing ?

I finished another blessing outfit and took it to the baby's home on Saturday. He had the colic and so I showed the mom a little trick I had learned with my son at that stage. I shouldn't have done it. I threw my back out (which isn't hard to do) so my sciatic nerve is raw again. I've done nothing since. :(

I did go see Mama Mia with my friend. What an awesome movie, but then I love Abba. It was a great toe tappin movie.

DRESSES FINISHED!

This is the front and back of the flower girls' dress. She looked pretty sweet in it, according to her cousin.



This is the Bridesmaid dress. I made 3 of them. The most difficult was the one I had to add 11 inches through the bustline and 9 through the hips. But the dress fit beautifully on all 3.

I'm so glad they are finished. This was a difficult job. I had wanted to get them completed before I left in July for vacation, but I was having trouble getting them over for fittings. OH well, at least they are done!

I have just the lining for the bodice on the last dress, attach a bow to the flower girls dress and stitch down the lining in the wedding dress,and move hook and eyes on the neck of it. I will be done tonight....yipee.
My fabrice for my stuff will be here on Saturday, so I can start my sewing. I'm hoping to do the 3-4-4 sew along for PR. We'll see.

I'll take pics tonight and post them tomorrow.

ALMOST THERE.....

I finished up another dress last night, and almost have the 3rd one done. I'll finish it tonight before I go to bed. Next up is replacing the zipper and letting out the side seams on the brides' gown. It was too tight when she bought it and she tried it on the other day and as her fiance zipped it up, it broke. I guess it's a good thing she didn't wait until the day of her wedding to put it on.

The zipper is ripped out now...I have to go buy another one to finish.


Pics coming tomorrow I hope.

I have the flower girls dress finished and one of the bridesmaids dress finish. Tonight I will try and finsh the other two. What a journey this has been.
