Wedding Dress - The first phase...

Gathering the Materials

Here's the picture of the Dream Dress, a pattern with the correct "bones", and my notes.

First step: layout and cut the pattern out of some spare fabric to make the fitting dress. I'm using an old sheet for this.

What can you use an old sheet for?

Art Pouches - Here is the first.

Hi Friends, I have been making a batch of Art Pouches: Cute little decorative pouches to carry the essentials. They're one of a kind, and each has a different theme. This is the first one finished of this batch. I am using about 90% upcycled materials, which is very exciting to me. I am finally using some items from my extensive stash of found and salvaged goodies. That feels great! There will be more to come.

Also coming up, I will be making a Wedding Dress soon, and will post all the steps along the way to the happy completion of this lovely medieval style dress. So... if you've ever wondered what goes into creating/sewing a cusomized garment, stay tuned.

Until next time... take a look at that special piece of fabric you're saving and just think, What Can It Become?

Poetically yours, Pamela
