The Easter dresses are completed

I completed the dresses for Easter Sunday. They are beautiful ; if I should say so. I also made a small bag to match each of the dresses. I hope they like them.

Easter Dresses

Today I started to make Easter dresses for the girls in the family that I mentor through my church, The Assembly Worship Center. They are ages 10, 4, and 2 years old. I completed one of the dresses today and will sew another one tomorrow. I have to complete them by Friday. I'll post pictures later.

Chair covers

Today I sewed chair covers for my friend's daughter. She is getting married in April. I am helping her make some of the chair covers. They are made from drapery linning with chiffon as the tie & bow. I think they came out really good. They fit the standard chair that are used at wedding receptions and the like.

Sewing Educator

In addition to making wedding gowns, I love to teach sewing. I've been teaching children sewing classes for over 20 years. Although most of the students I've taught were girls, I have also taught boys how to sew. I just love to see their creativity expressed in the finished projects.

Bridal Informals

This is the time of year when I get really busy. I just completed a gown form a Butterick Pattern. It's not your typical gown; but these are the ones I love to make. They're called informals because they are simple in the style and the creation of the gown. These gowns are more likely to be worn by ladies who were married before. In addition, some brides prefer not to have the traditional type gowns.
