Oh, what pretty fabric and SO perfect for an Irish wedding! I was drawn to that same photo from your Pinterest board as well. One suggestion I’d make is to make the underlayer a slightly darker shade than the overlayer. With white on white I find that sometimes I can’t see the pretty details as well as I’d like.

More links! This is the brides dress, but please keep it hush hush! http://www.pronovias.us/wedding-dresses-2014/collection-fashion-lamero
The bridesmaids will be in a deep blue, but I haven’t seen the dresses. The fabric I bought was on the cover of sew beautiful magazine in a reproduction of a dress worn by Caroline Kennedy in the famous Avedon…[Read more]

Nicole, which pattern? I’m sorry! Too much in my head right now.

Sorry! I meant to say I splurged on this dreamy stuff: http://webstore.quiltropolis.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Shopper_id=962522810499625&Store_id=198&page_id=23&Item_ID=31939
I do have a Pinterest board here: http://www.pinterest.com/melanieew/flower-girl/. but the fabric is so unique! I keep flip flopping on how to best use it.…[Read more]

Very pretty. I think I’d do a fairy tale with that overlaying a color that echoes the brides-maid dresses. But a pale pastel version of the color.
It is so diaphanous. The sleeves could be just that material. I would likely lengthen the fairy tale to make it at least mid calf.
Make me one in my size?

I do have a but the fabric is so unique! I keep flip flopping on how to best use it. Plus, I thought it would be fun to talk about! What is more lovely than little girls in white dresses?
Here’s my . The fabric there is quite different though, so I’m not sure it would work.

We’ve only heard rave reviews about any of Gail’s classes….so, we can only imagine how wonderful taking two of her classes would be. Ooooh, yes!! You must finish them now – so nice to have an excuse to do so.

I had the very great pleasure of taking a couple of classes with Gail when she came to Australia for Beating around the bush a few years ago (about 8?) we made Primrose from the Beautiful Bishops book – I did size 18 month I think and it still isn’t completed so maybe for next Easter it will be done.
I also did another dress with her that…[Read more]

I can’t see the fabric you splurged on, is there supposed to be a link or attachment? I doubt I can suggest anything you haven’t thought of but I’m excited to see what you’ll make!

Would you like it to reflect the bride’s or bridesmaids’ dress/es in any way? usually there is a little detail that can serve as a jumping-off point, like a portrait collar or bit of design on the lace.
If that isn’t a consideration, go for the most opulent/fiddly/would-not-do-this-for-pay beading/smocking/embroidery. Maybe even save some work for…[Read more] -

Love, love, love Gail Doane’s gorgeous creations!! Funny thing….we briefly met her last weekend, while “crashing” an heirloom sewing class she was teaching. Luckily, it was during lunch so we got a quick photo with her and were able to ooooh and aaaah over the loveliness she brought to showcase.
Yes, yes, yes….if only the time could match our…[Read more]

I don’t do much in the way of fine hand work but I joined this group purely to comment on this!
So excited to see what you do. I still have that Vogue pattern I can post to you, if you like.Why not start a Pinterest board?

Oh yes that’s another one of the favourites on my to do list but because we will be heading into winter (whatever that is around here) and my baby is still very much a “lying down” baby, that one is earmarked for more around the first birthday mark. I might even adapt one of Gail Doane’s bishops to make it fit her when she’s walking. It would be…[Read more]

After lots of saving and uncertainty, the tickets are booked and we are definitely going to Ireland for my cousin’s wedding! Kitty will be the flower girl and I totally splurged on
The fabric has a gorgeous drape and will gather up beautifully, so I think a full skirt is in order. But I just keep going back and forth on what I want to do with…[Read more]

I’d been thinking that I’d love the little girls to have smocked dresses for Easter. Not sure if they will ‘approve’ or not. They seem to have grown up on me overnight!
I want to say that BK’s baptism gown was made using the Twinkle Toes pattern…I’ll have to double check next time I’m at my mom’s.;)
