Playing with Paper

Wedding Dress

Working on this wedding dress reminds me of how much fun I had at our wedding.  I thought about making my dress, but I couldn’t find the time (I loved the dress I found anyway…).  It was so much fun, a fabulous little party with close friends and family.  I smile when I remember it.

The dress is coming along beautifully.  It is a surprise – so no pictures to give it away, but the shapes are really amazing.  (insert giddy mad scientist giggle here…)

HomeSchoolSewers - Making A Pattern

This week is Pillow with Appliqué week.  First, everyone made patterns, either on paper or just freely cut out their fabric.

Next, everyone will learn how to insert a zipper.  I love this part.  I have a favorite way of inserting zippers, so much so, I don’t follow the sometimes super lame instructions provided sometimes in patterns.  I pretty much follow these methods. After a bit of practice, they look really good.
