Wedding Gown and Bridesmaid Dress

I've jabbered on about my outfit, but here are:

The Bridesmaid's dress overall it's a pretty conservative design, but that neckline plunge is deep! Guess where the modesty panel will be inserted? Thaaat's right!

Kim & I discussed wraps last night and agreed we'd try to make some. In the bridesmaid dress chiffon if possible, in white chiffon if not. I checked the After Six website and the chiffon is available! For $70 a yard! Not! I'm going to Jojos to check out their fancy sheers. A wrap is just a rectangle of fabric after all, and don't I have a fancy new serger that does rolled hems on sheers? You bet I do!

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.

Oh, BABE-y!
