Dressmaking

I am busy making a couple of bridesmaids dresses for one of Lucy's friends who gets married next month. Lucy's is finished and this is Sophie's under construction. I thought I would try a photo of some of the process.

A super capture.

Very talented. My sister and mom can sew,quilt etc but I can not. Great shot.

Beautiful shot!!!! WOW!!! Must be quite awesome to be making those dresses!!!! I've made many dresses, but only one evening dress ever... it came out well... but wasn't all that easy... the satin was slipping every where!!!

The shimmer in the fabric is very pretty as is the shine in the sewing machine foot and needle. Hope they turn out beautifully!

@pixiemac Thanks. I'm getting used to it. I usually limit myself to the bridesmaids but did make Louise's gown when she got married. Katharine

@karenmatthews Thanks Karen. The fabric has a lovely subdued shimmer that flatters. I've almost finished Sophie's to the point where I need her to try it on before completing it. Katharine

@michaelelliott Thank you. I liked that effect too. Katharine

@bkbinthecity Thank you. The wedding is mid-August and no doubt one of us will post a picture of the dresses being worn. Katharine

@gillg Thanks Gill.The colour is lovely and flatters both girls. Katharine

@angelat Thank you Angela. I must try more shots like this. I don't experiment much at the moment. Katharine
July 24th, 2013  
Great shot, nice to have a shot in the making, looking forward to seeing a shot of the finished dresses. Happy sewing and hope all goes well.

@bizziebeeme Thank you. Just breathing a sigh of relief, the other bridesmaid came for a fitting and the dress only needs minor adjustments. Katharine

Just shows that you are never far from a photo opportunity - you just have to think!
July 29th, 2013  
@andrewrome365 I've become more aware of the opportunities as my involvement with 365 goes on. I still miss a fair few though. Katharine
