Bridesmaids dresses

Post by secret squirrel »

Thursday last week I was approached by someone to make four bridesmaids dresses. I am reall chuffed and honoured because the bride , who is now 30, I have known since she was 18 months old. She and her siblings have grown up along side my own children and her brother is my godson.
Its a lovely summer project and the dresses are going to be pastel rainbow colours, in lilac, mint, coral and lemon.
When they are done I will try and conquer my fear of photobucket and post some piccies.
The wedding is in October. :-D

How clever and a great honour I would think.
I am sure they will be lovely.

I am one of those strange people who finds sewing incredibly relaxing. I know others dont though. I used to make wedding dresses for a living a few years back, so it will be nice to get back into the habit. Especially for someone you love.
I love all the pattern cutting and getting all the materials together and then the whole project really. I will try and keep you posted. The bride has bought her dress and it is really beautiful. Saw piccies of them at the bridal shop.
Cant wait to get started. Beading is a favourite of mine.
