I've been doing quite a bit of sewing lately. I have a client that I'm making several business casual dresses and jumpers for, but I'm most excited about a project that my daughter and I are collaborating on for this coming Spring. We're working on a bridal portrait styled shoot. I'll be providing the gown and she'll be capturing the images. Wedding gowns are my all-time favorite project since I get to use every ounce of my creativity along with my sewing skills.

This gown is going to be a lace overlay, very romantic with an A-line silhouette. I found some wonderful satin and lace here locally which can be a challenge. But I had great success at a shop called Allyn's in Denver. If you've never been, it's a crazy little shop that is chock-full of fabrics, laces, trims, etc. It can be completely frustrating, since it is so disorganized....but so exhilarating when you find what you're looking for! It's a treasure trove of goodies.
This is just a sneak peek ..... I'll be posting pics of the completed
gown once we've finished the project. I hope then to be able to sell it to a boutique here in town. The fabrics and trims are so beautiful that I've already changed up the the design a bit from my original sketch to highlight some of the unique features of the lace. Stay tuned!
