Phase 2 complete

Now we wait...
     The pre-dress is sewn. The future bride has been notified. Now I wait for the date when she can visit for the fitting. ( Did I mention she lives in Washington State, and I live in CA?)  We do not back down from a challenge, us women folk.  We find a way to make it work, if it's important to us.
     So, while the wedding dress is on the back burner, move on to taxes (Yes, I know it's late!).  Did I tell you how much I dread taxes?  Well, like I said, we do not back down from a challenge; and it's important to me to Not be bugged by the IRS, so better get to it.

Wedding Dress, Still in Phase 1...

So, or should I say "sew", because that is what I have to do.  The pieces have all been cut out for the fitting dress, and now I am in the process of sewing it all together. I'm using a long stitch with a contrasting thread so my poor, nearsighted eyes can see it easily during this phase.

    This is going to be a lovely, delicate, flowing design... and I just found out the future blushing bride skated in her first women's roller derby! Oh the paradoxes (paradoxi?) of life. At least she was wearing pretty black lace tights along with her knee pads and helmet.

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?
