The Making of My Sister’s Wedding: Flower Girl Dresses, Part One

May 29, 2013 by kelerr

This will be just one in what I am sure will be a series of posts about the Making of My Sister’s Wedding (mostly I’m calling it that so I don’t have to explain every time I post about it that the wedding I’m prepping is not my own)! My main job, aside from planning the shower (which is in less than two weeks now!!) and the bachelorette party is to make the dresses for the three flowers girls. The […]

Back to sewing today! There’s still quite a bit to do for Frozen Jr. but the end is in sight! This is one of the last villager coronation dresses, then we need to do their aprons and a couple of other last minute things. Cannot believe our first dress rehearsal is FIVE DAYS AWAY!

Still playing with those vacation photos. This is Iceland in July 2016, and it quickly became one of my favorite places. I went on my own through @travendly which caters to solo travelers, and I went with a group of five others. First stop right off the plane was the Blue Lagoon. #iceland #thebluelagoon #travel #traveller #sewcialistswhotravel #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #sewcialistsofinstagram #nycsews #brooklynsews #travendly #travellingsewist #bluelagooniceland

Not sewing for a few days (three day weekend visiting family) so here’s more old vacation pictures! (Also I’ve been playing with edits in Lightroom recently which is why I’ve been going through all these old photos.) This is another favorite from the Malta/Italy trip. This is also in Venice, on San Giorgio Maggiore - we spotted this snake glass sculpture from the top of the church and went exploring. Dress is an @oldnavy maxi dress that I bought specifically for the trip for church visits (had a little cardigan for that too for covering my shoulders but outside it was far too hot for that coverage!). #travel #sangiorgiomaggiore #venice #veniceitaly #italy #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #sewcialistsofinstagram #sewcialistswhotravel #travelingsewist #nycsews #brooklynsews

Apparently I’m in the mood for sharing random old vacation photos! This one is from July 2017 in Burano, Italy on the Venetian Lagoon (part of an amazing almost full month my friend and I spent in Malta and Italy). This was before I started sewing for myself but that is one of my favorite non-me made dresses. It’s from @ninewest - I still have it and wear it! #travel #travelbug #italy #burano #buranoitaly #venetianlagoon #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #sewcialistsofinstagram #sewcialistswhotravel #travelingsewist #nycsews #brooklynsews

By far my favorite vacation souvenirs are pictures I take. I was going through all my pictures from my April trip to Edinburgh, and remembering how much I loved everything about this corner kilt store. #travel #edinburgh #scotland #edinburghscotland #kiltmakers #sewisg #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialist #sewcialistsofinstagram #nycsews #brooklynsews

The bodice of my Lilou Dress is fully lined! I’ll get to the two skirts for my finished bodices soon... and then I have a special project for myself for Frozen to do! #memade #memadewarobe #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #nycsews #brooklynsews #sewcialists #sewcialistsofinstagram #sewyourbooks #loveatfirststitch #tillyandthebuttons #chambray #soistash #tillyandthebuttonslilou #sewinglilou #liloudress
