My future daughter-in-law just asked me if I would make her veil. I've never
done one, I tend to stick to home dec but it certainly doesn't look too
difficult. I got one book out of the library and found a local store that
carries the supplies, but I like to read everything I can about how to do
something and then use the best ideas from various sources. Any links to
directions, books, or booklets that anyone can recommend? The library book
is "I Do" Veils. Thanks.

That one has some nice ideas, but I find the methods a bit amateurish.
I prefer 'Veiled in Beauty' from Creative Publishing (no single editor)
ISBN 1-58923-047-7

If you go to http://sewing.patternreview.com/ and type in 'veil'
(without the quotation marks) in the plain box in the upper left hand
corner and then click on the blue GO button, you will get a list of 7
reports by people who made veils. Click on the green camera icon to
see a picture. Click on the word READ to access the report. The two
things they all have in common is that the materials are inexpensive
and the project is easy.

What a wonderful honor for her to ask you to make her veil. She must
really respect, appreciate and have faith in your work.....what a
great footing to get off on with your new daughter-in-law.
Now, as previously stated.....it isn't all that difficult to
acheive beautiful results. No matter what you do....you will come off
like a genius!
My husband made my veil when my seamstress took ill and I basically
told him a week before the wedding...."If you want me to come down the
isle you are going to have to take this box of stuff and turn it into
something for my head." He did. Ah, I am just a putz for mushy stuff
.....I gotta go give my dear husband of 20 years a smooch.
Have fun with that veil!

My future daughter in law trusted me enough to make her wedding dress even
although I had only made quilts for the last 25 years. I taught her to sew
at the same time and she made the bridesmaid dresses. Thee wedding is
tomorrow and I will post pics and pattern details when I have them.
