Catching up..

Here are pix of the jackets..

This is the one the bride wore over her dress,, it is made out of satin, it doesn't look shiny because her dress wasn't very shiny like satin, so I turned the shiny side to the inside, then i lined it with voile..

   These are all the jackets,, the white on the bottom is the miniature bride...there are 4 silver/gray,, and 3 purple...

                                                           Wedding party....

Marathon sewing,,

Pictures, pictures, who has the pictures,, not me, not yet anyway,, I am still here, still going. Actually I am very busy making jackets for a wedding,, I have to have a total of 9 made by May 7th,,, I already have 3 done and am working on 2 more,, so I figured if I get an average of 2 done a day I will be pretty good,, you might be pulling you'r hair out thinking 6 in 3 days,, is she crazy,, well yes maybe.. The jackets are pretty basic Bolero style,, 3 pieces per jacket,, so not too much hair pulling going on here,,, not too much anyway,, will post pix later.. gotta get back to sewing........
