Many, many months ago, I got a call from a young man looking for help to learn how to shorten shirt sleeves. See, he’s a rock star and well his clothes need to be tight, but the sleeves were always too long. Then his fiancé called and we met in a groovy cafe on a snowy day. The rest is history, and after a few months, Libby had a wonderful and unique wedding dress. While she’s been a sewer (the stiching kind, not the stinky kind), she learned a bit more about her sewing machine, how to sew with knits and how to make a pattern, among other fun sewing tid bits. We draped the pieces, drafted the patterns and stitched up this lovely dress (tunic and skirts). Congratulations Libby and Aaron, you look wonderful! Thanks for letting me be a small part in your amazing celebration. xxooZ
The top tunic part is a lovely jersey with a surplice neckline and petal like hem.
The skirt part is actually multiple parts, both made of interesting gauze pieces that Libby draped and buttoned around her.
Note the lovely green Dr. Martins. I think she has the largest collection of DMs ever! Amazing! – and Libby – love the necklace choice….
Libby sent her party green fabric and they each made their own (or had help) dresses. I think they all did an outstanding job. I love the green and red together.

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…)
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 . After a bit of practice, they look really good.
