T-minus 9 days and counting

There was a second wedding rehearsal today. Apparently, the groom wants to make sure that everyone in the bridal party understands what they have to do. Next Friday evening will be the last rehearsal before the BIG day on Saturday. Stay tuned for more tomorrow.

T-minus 10days to the wedding

Worked on more bouquets last night and another African outfit. The skirt from the two- piece outfit is almost completed. Hopefully tomorrow all the sewing will be completed; then I will start checking the 300 chair covers to get them ready for next Saturday.

The wedding countdown continues

This was a real tiring day for me. I did some sewing this morning; then made a trip to Joann Fabric to buy buttons and a zipper for the African dress I'm making for my sister. When I returned to the house I did more sewing. Later it was out again. Did not return until after 9pm. It was tiring, but very productive. The wedding planning and sewing continues tomorrow.

12 days til the wedding

There are tons of last minute things to do before the wedding on July 7. We'll be working on the bridesmaids' bouquet tonight. All bouquets, centerpieces, buttoneer and floral decorations are artificial. The flower person got ill so in addition to sewing and catering; my sister and I had to do flowers.

Summer Sewing Camps

This summer I won't be running sewing camps because I'm assisting with the planning of a wedding. Many people have inquired about the camps for their children. I will however start up Saturday classes in August.I hope you will be available to take classes at that time. My schedule will be published at the end of July. I look forward to hearing from many of you.

American wedding for African couple

For the past several months I've been planning a wedding with my sister for an African couple. It will be on July 7th. They want to have an American wedding with all the trimmings. There are 300 people on the guest list. My sister is the Coordinator/Planner.
I have altered the bridesmaids dresses and the groom's men tuxedos. Today we  made the centerpieces and other floral arrangements. As the day gets closer; there is still so much more to do. I will blog each day until the wedding.
