with taffeta

Here we are with the skirt in taffeta. VERY unpressed and very unfinished etc etc

so far


This weekend I:
* made three back left bodice pieces before I managed to make a right
* had a complete meltdown when my (very $$$ and not old at all rowenta) iron burped up brown gunk on white silk
* literally burst into tears over the music being played in our sewing room/office... this is when you know you have a guy who is a keeper, when he looks at you like you are NUTS as you stand there crying and then comforts you anyway
* ate a wonderful hazelnut cupcake from my sister (today is my birthday. sshh! spent it sewing (; )
* hand stitched and hand stitched and hand stitched and decided that I need sharper needles
* ended up with something that is starting to resemble a wedding dress instead of just a white silk organza explosion

That last one is the best!! It really is starting to look like a wedding dress, and it's going to be gorgeous. There is something magical about silk taffeta.

Very pretty, Wendy! Love the "silk organza explosion" image

Hazelnut cupcakes ... I don't suppose your sister would give up the recipe ...

Happy birthday! Your dress is promising to look wonderful. I totally understand about pre-wedding meltdowns (though I was pregnant then, too... even more nerves!). Be good to yourself!

I hope your birthday was lovely. Sounds like a rough start, but you're right, he's a keeper. Your dress is coming out fantastic. g
