Bridesmaid dress fail

Hello lovelies, wishing you all a fabulous labor day weekend. After much back and forth with my bridesmaids, due to geography and fitting issues, we have decided on this teal number from Target.

If you had told me at the beginning of all of this planning we were going to find bridesmaid dresses

at Target, I would have sat in disbelief. Out of all of the bridesmaid dresses that I have looked at,

this is one of the best. Luckily though, I still get to make the grooms woman dress! I will be sewing this weekend, what about you?

Vintage touches

Hello friends! Just wanted to share some vintage handkerchiefs and doilies that I found at the Rosebowl. Hopefully I will use them under the vintage bottles on the tables for the wedding. Above is the lovely silk

that I finally found in the right colors for the bridesmaid and groomswomen dresses. Just an FYI for anyone out there planning a wedding, Target.com has bridesmaid dresses! If only I had known, sigh. I can see why people don't usually make dresses for weddings, being able to buy something and cross it off the list

would be such a relief. We will see what I end up doing. This upcoming long weekend will be a great time

to get some sewing done and feel more on track. Wishing you all a great week!

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Belated Mothers Day! Hoping you and your moms had a fabulous day!

I took my mom downtown to the garment district and we went fabric shopping, then we

made a practice floral wreath head piece for the wedding. It came out a bit bigger than I wanted,

but we got the general idea how to make it. Wishing everyone an excellent Monday!

Invitation

These are our final invites. Sorry for the terrible photo quality, one of my goals is to get a 

good camera soon! We have been getting wedding things done, now I have to get serious 

about making some bridesmaids dresses!!

Invitation Artwork

Happy Monday everyone! This weekend I worked on wedding invitation artwork, using

Rifle Paper Co.'s style as inspiration. Now all I have to do is lay this puppy out and print..

Hope you all had a relaxing productive weekend!

Just in case....

Friends, I have been getting a bit nervous about everything I am endeavoring to make for

the big day. So when I saw this lovely dress on ESB, I just couldn't help myself! 89$ ? Why

yes please, thank you! Just in case, you know? After all I am making the pattern for this wedding

dress, what if something goes terribly wrong and I hate it. I am much relieved. Thank you, Zara.

Groomswoman Dress

This weekend I worked on the start of my bridesmaids and groomswoman dresses. I just

love the Derby pattern, I think that it looks nice in this charcoal grey poly charmouse. The

only problem is that this fabric is a bit heavy, and doesnt press flat very nicely. I may change

fabrics altogether if I can find something else that isn't priced through the roof. Fingers crossed!
