We definitely missed you guys. The dress you made for Jennifer was spectacular! Thank you for your kind words - high praise indeed! Chiffon is a beautiful beast (especially for someone with no patience and butterfingers)!!! I think ignorance was working in my favor on this one. I just kind of crossed my fingers and hoped that it worked out. <br /><br />p.s. Do you know how hard it is to sew with crossed fingers?!!!Mr. Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646297018044505890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-33260321490909642002013-03-22T08:48:09.971-07:002013-03-22T08:48:09.971-07:00Hahahaha, THANKS!!!

The only problem is that I kind of hate sewing - totally boring. It is a necessary evil in order to see my ideas realized. I've heard about that 3D printer and I believe that Dita VT wore a dress that was created by the same; maybe that is in my design future - no sewing required.Mr. Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646297018044505890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-31137964245513491242013-03-21T17:01:30.953-07:002013-03-21T17:01:30.953-07:00Holy smokes!!!

Don't tell me that's the first time you've ever sewn chiffon. I think I might faint.<br />Beautifully done!<br />Mary looks gorgeous, of course.<br />Such a beautiful wedding.

Kudos to you both, and to the new married folks, too! I wish you'd start selling her cast-offs, or last season's crop of duds, on etsy...do you have any idea of the scarcity of vintage clothes like this for fellow Amazonians WITHOUT incredibly talented sewing brothers? I'm telling you, it's serious!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-12318320541591748022013-03-21T08:20:39.973-07:002013-03-21T08:20:39.973-07:00Hahaha...Thank you!!!

If I knew what I was getting into I probably would not have done it. Also, I never encourage people to examine my work too closely; sInce Mary usually only wears things once or twice, I have given up on fine finishes. You must go to Catalina, it is slow, quiet, and boring (in the very best of ways) and requires nothing of you but to relax and enjoy the sunny weather.Mr. Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646297018044505890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-11439142703205634892013-03-21T08:15:19.086-07:002013-03-21T08:15:19.086-07:00It was pretty great!

FANTASTIC JOB; the dress is STUNNING, and the tasty co-ordinating matchup with the Reese's Pieces was definitely fortuitous! And no, it definitely didn't 'read' as "Halloween"-y! Looks like it was a FANTASTIC and ORIGINAL wedding (my very favourite kind)and I wish I could have been in attendance because it looked like a BLAST.
