My younger sister is graduating high school this week. She needs a graduation dress, and then a formal dress for after final exams in November. We went shopping today with Mum, found the formal dress, reminded ourselves of why we hate shopping, and I realised once again why I love sewing and thrifting over buying ready to wear.
I still haven't made my sister her practice dress for the wedding, as I was waiting for her to have school finished with. However, after the upteenth dress try on, I told her we were going to the fabric shop, and I would make it for her by next Wednesday. We found the fabric, then went back and got matching shoes.
The fabric is lovely; it's the blue colourway of my engagement dress, and I got four metres in case I want to make something else at the end.
I am so excited for this project!!!!
In other news, I finished the other practice dresses this week, been working on wedding dress prototypes and doing a lot of sewing, not much in the way of finished items to blog. Hoping to be blogging more in the next weeks
