Bridal Gown and Veil Complete!

Yee-haw! Kim's bridal gown is altered and bustled, and her veil is finished, too. I have deepened my relationship with my serger in the process. I no longer fear the little metal thingy that converts her to a 2-thread machine. To finish the bottom edge of the veil I used a 2-thread narrow stitch that wraps the edge of the fabric. It's not a hand-rolled hem; not a rolled hem at all, actually, but it works, and most importantly, the bride is happy with it.

I gathered the top edge, wrapped a hunk of veil fabric around it, sewed it down and whip-stiched it to a comb. Done!

Kim had her trial hair-do appointment Saturday afternoon.

Looks good!

The bridal gown has been bustled and the gaping neckline tamed with clear elastic.

I was able to spend Sunday afternoon cutting out my outfit. Again I say, yee-haw! I can hardly wait to get started with the actual sewing.

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
