I sewed this dress for Joel/Amanda and Ian/Elizabeth's weddings. It's the best one I've made because I finally figured out how to make a skirt correctly.Why it wasn't obvious to me before is anybody's guess.
Amos had fears that I had become a bit colorblind after living here so long (July 20th is the four year anniversary of my arrival--I think) but he decided he liked the dress when it was made up.
On a related note, a friend lent/gave me a sewing machine. It's the old fashioned, hand crank style.
I have yet to sew anything on it, because it's a bit awkward turning the crank with one hand and guiding fabric, etc. with the other. Also because it's badly in need of some maintanance.
Beautiful dress, Emily! Really looking forward to seeing you guys!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the shape and the color of the dress you made. Can't wait to see it on your willowy, pretty figure!!
ReplyDeleteThe machine is a beauty, too. Hope you can figure out how to make it work for you. I had a friend whose mother sewed on a machine like that but it was powered by a foot peddle she pumped.
