To-Dos Checked Off

So, my brother is getting married next weekend.

I volunteered to take on a few projects.

A few projects that I have procrastinated.

But, this week I have completed items 1 through 6 on my 9 item list (not too shabby!).


Alayna's "Flower Girl" Dress
{Bodice created from scratch using this tutorial (it was waaaay easier than I was anticipating).  Skirt is made from Ruffle Fabric and used the skirt portion of this tutorial.  Some of the most fun fabric I have sewn with in a while.}

 A close up of the flower.
{Burned circles of the satin-ish material with glass pearls sewn into the middle.}

The back of the dress (this one is actually Kendree's but you get the drift).
 Front of Kendree's (for good measure).

And, a pleated pearl headband for each girl as well.

Also sewn, but not pictured, two of the Coastal Curtsy Skirts from this tutorial.  Mine were in the black 2-inch ruffle fabric and if you are looking for an incredibly easy and fun skirt--you should get to ordering!

Next up?  A vest and bow tie for Easton and the sign in scrapbook. {like this one, or this one, or this one that I have made before}

Sorry for the less that stellar pictures.  My camera is "in the shop" and all I have is my ipod.

You ROCK! I felt a little guilty having you make everything, but I knew they would turn out awesome! Maybe I'll make it up to you by making everything for the kids for Sarah's Wedding. :) Can't wait for our package to come in the mail!

Way to go busy lady! I love the headbands....I wish Chani would keep them on her head. You are super talented. Great work! The bow tie and vest are (cute) handsome too!
