Hey All,
Finished the dress for DD's pal today.
http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLanding.action?c=o3492qh.5e2c171d&x=0&y=djnp3h&localeid=en_US
Same album with DD's dress. Far and away the happiest prom dress I have
ever made. :) Which suits the gal it's for all the way to the bone. ;)
She's a great kid. As you will see from the dress, she is very petite!! She
is also wheelchair bound, but it sure doesn't slow her down. Just love
this little gal to pieces. I took remnants of the polka dot and the bright
pink and did a rolled edge on the serger. That way she has scarves to tie
to the handles of her chair. I asked her if she would like that and she
was THRILLED! She loved her dress when I fit it to her the other day. Fit
like a dream, will be even better now that it's hemmed. (there will be no
more running over the skirt. She and I were laughing together at
her "crazy driving".)
Oh, and this was her design. She and I emailed back and forth for a couple
weeks. She knew precisely what she wanted. I didn't have time to draft
anything for her, but we lucked out and found a pattern really close to
what she wanted. Then we tweaked it from there. :) She was just a dream
to sew for.
If I can, I will get pictures of the girls together this weekend.

That is mega-cool, Sharon. Would love to see her in her dress, with
scarves on the handles.
She probably already knows more about this than I do, but this video is
really wonderful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ9NqyChCA0

What a fun video!! I'll have to email that to her. :)
I put up a couple pictures of her in the dress. DD and I delivered it to
her tonight. She immediately wanted to try it on. ;) So her mom and I
helped her get it put on. Then she had to put on her prom shoes. I just
cackled. When I talked to her earlier in the week, she was going
for "princessy" shoes. Well her version of that is a new pair of low-top
Converse All Stars!!!! They do have a cool print and she's going to try
and find either lime green or hot pink laces for them. ;) How can we not
love a sense of humor like that??? She blinked in at least one of the
pictures, but you can see her grinning like a demon. That's what she's done
ever since her first fitting in the dress. ;)
Her mom said she was worried the gal had started with "chemical assistance"
today she was so hyper. She told us she was just excited because she knew
I was bringing the dress to her tonight. lol That's the kind of client
everyone wants isn't it?? ;)

Sharon, what a pretty dress! It is wonderful that you were
able to bring her design to fruition, and I love the scarves
for the handles.

Sharon,
It's a great dress! The young lady has a terrific sense of style. Do you
think Fashion Design is in her future?
