The dress Tenneille wore to dad’s wedding last week, I started over a year ago. \u00c2\u00a0It’s made from a retro cot sheet I thrifted a couple of years ago and an old pillow cover that I no longer used. \u00c2\u00a0When I originally made it, it was a little too big, kind of a given, seems I didn’t use a pattern. \u00c2\u00a0I also needed to add buttons at the back and button holes, but my old sewing machine wasn’t able to do holes as it was faulty. \u00c2\u00a0But alas, my new machine does. \u00c2\u00a0So on the day of the wedding (of course!) I whipped out the dress from it’s year long hiatus, sewed the button holes, buttons and made a couple of adjustments to the shoulder straps to complete the dress. \u00c2\u00a0Tenneille was most excited that I finally finished the dress. \u00c2\u00a0I am excited that it is now off my ‘to sew list’! \u00c2\u00a0I also made some hair clips to match with some leftover buttons, but alas I forgot to take a picture and knowing my little cherub, the clips could be anywhere now.<\/p>\n
