New pictures on my site

Posted by BEI Design on April 27, 2009, 12:13 pm

I'm still tweaking it, and I'll be adding more
"how-its-made" pictures form time to time. I did put some
additional pictures up yesterday. And as everyone here
knows, nothing is for sale on my website, it's strictly
informational. http://ickes.us/default.aspx

It's probably Red Dog, still on spring break, or something.

Now that I have a toddler asleep on my lap, I've taken the time to look
through the pictures of the design and construction of your younger
daughter's wedding. They brought back various memories. When I looked
yesterday, I thought the wedding dress bodice looked familiar. I used
this pattern once in the 80's to make and fit the muslin for a friend's
wedding dress. She mailed my work to the far away person who was making
her dress, since she was not going to be home for measuring or for any
early fittings.

The purple brought back memories too. Once when I was in grade school,
my mom kept me home sick from school, then left to go to work. I spent
the day adapting a pattern to be one shouldered and making myself a
purple satin fitted top.

I have had that pattern in my stash for a long time, I
originally bought it for a prom dress for one of DDs.

Oh! :-( Did you ever get to see the finished gown?

Each of DD's attendants chose their own style, the only
requirement was the purple satin. I went with the MOH to
David's Bridal so she could get an idea of what would work
for her (she's a strictly jeans and T-shirt kinda gal). The
only top she liked, and which looked good on her, was that
one, with the added advantage that it covered the tattoo on
her right shoulder. ;-}

I think I saw a small snapshot of it in someone's album a few years
later. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of most of the wedding
sewing I've done. It is easier for me to take pictures now with the
digital camera.
