Bum Ruffles, Anyone?

Sonia Rose's dress is needing only 3 rows of lavender chiffon bum ruffles to be complete. I believe that the length will be just about right, but it may be too big around. I'll know for sure when she gets here in just 2 more days!

Tomorrow I will be edging 5 white chiffon rectangles to be used as wraps by the bridesmaids. I found a great stitch on my serger--a 3-thread picot edge. It works great. I wished I'd seen that page in my serger workbook when I was hemming Kim's bridal veil.

I've been working on a slideshow for the wedding reception--it also is almost complete. I'm waiting for a few more pictures to arrive. I've borrowed I-don't-want-to-know-how-many-thousands-of-dollars worth of projection equipment from a wonderful, generous and marvelously technically savvy couple from our church. I've had a rehearsal with it & it all seems to work fine. A full dress rehearsal including completed slideshow, laptop, projector, speakers and screen will take place on Tuesday or Wednesday. It's a terrific show, if I do say so myself. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.

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 😜).

Oh, BABE-y!

Pics of the fabu BABES gathering at Jennifer's in San Francisco on Sunday, August 21. Thanks so much for hosting, Jen! Here are the pictures.

Jen, Lori, Dena, Gloria and Veronica (Verosews) swapping fabric, magazines and patterns. Joan (Grannygeek) and Georgene say their goodbyes. Tamtay, Neefer, Jen and Lori get ready to shop!

Easter Ensemble

I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!
