Sew Sew

I started sewing more than 40 years ago. I made many of my own clothes while I was in junior and senior high school. The summer before I left for college I made a quilt with the remnants from the clothes I had made for myself and others over the previous five years. Can you tell that I like lime green?

Three years later I was planning my wedding, and my grandmother wanted me to make my gown. I said no to that, but I did make my little sister's dress to wear as the flower girl. She was six at the time. Ten years later my seven year-old daughter wore that same dress to attend my brother's wedding.

And now I am making my dress and my daughter's dress to wear to my oldest son's wedding. He will be married on August 14. I like a classic, tailored look and found the perfect Vogue pattern for a fitted two-piece to make up in moss green brushed satin. My daughter likes simple lines, too, and selected a beautiful teal linen for her dress. With any luck I will have photos to share soon. If anybody asks, we bought them at Macy's Department Store *wink wink.
