I’ve found the pattern I want to use to make my wedding dress. I have the pleasure of spending the next few months figuring out how to make it fit my measurements; thank God for craft Mondays.

It’s not going to be a wedding like our families and friends want, but we get to circumnavigate the rituals in our own fashion. Instead of dress shopping, my mother, sisters and I can go fabric shopping. 5 months ago

I sew a dress in India out of an Indian Salmon pink fabric, with the help of my aunt. It’s a start? 13 months ago

Now, I just need to match my measurements, and then I have no excuse. Instead of struggling with patterns, I will be able to use a form, to create my own, shaped like me! 19 months ago

I think I will get my grandma or mom to help me with this. I’ll start with skirts because the patterns are the easiest. I can pick pretty patterned fabric! It’s saves so much money, too. 2 years ago

Love it! Off to a rough start, already broke 2 needles :( But just need to practice more. Going to pick up a big pack of them later today. 2 years ago

DH wants to buy me a sewing machine this weekend!! Picked out an affordable one that has some extra features for embroidery. I’ll post soon as I get it!! EEeeeee!!! 2 years ago
