Once we got home I started sewing again. I am attempting to make a dress for Kerryn's wedding from three Op Shop items. A $10 skirt, a $0.50 shirt and a $2 tunic top. It is taking me a while and I have only been sewing late at night (which is more difficult). But so far I am pleased. So here is a wee shot of the start on my dress dummy.

Oh my goodness Karen. Aren't you clever? I can't wait to see it all finished. It will be beautiful. I love peonies. I'll never forget my mother and sister giving me a bunch when my daughter was born. Your boys are growing up so much. So handsome.

Your envisage.dress for Kerryn's wedding will be unique and special. I hope it all comes together as well as you envisage.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how this turns out! I never in a million years could come up with something this cool!
ReplyDeleteWow, your dress is going to look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Absolutely you could do those beach themed cupcakes for boys. I had to do one with just Speedos for my son. You can buy those sour candy straps in more masculine colours too I think. (I can't stand the stuff personally. LOL) Anne xx
