Fabrics don't lie.

Still haven't found my camera...  That is weird and I'm beginning to suspect, not foul play, but mistaken identity...  Two other people who live here have cameras that look similar...  One has been gone the entire length of when it's been missing...  hmmm....  

BUT I still have my cell phone camera with the foggy pictures.  I should probably use some alcohol and a Q-tip and clean the lens sometime.  That works when Cheetos get jammed into the lens too.  But I won't get into that here.

Anywho, here is the fabric that Meri and I chose for her dress.  Actually the photo isn't TOO bad...  The white is an ivory bridal satin that isn't very drapy, but should work nicely for the bodice and all the pleating.  We won't have to line it either as it is NOT see through.  
The pattern pic is on yesterdays post if you want to see it.


The peach drapier shiny fabric will be the skirt part.  I got it all cut out last night and am looking forward to some time to start sewing things!!!  I think over lunch, I'll be able to rethread the serger and get some side seams serged up while watching the Mentalist.

Meri can say with a straight face, "I think it looks like a grandma dress. I don't like it."  and I believe her...  "Are you lying to me?" I ask.  "No"  After a few moments of me thinking that I'm either going to have to MAKE her learn to love it or if I have enough peach fabric left for a new bodice, she FINALLY cracks and says that she was kidding.  

If she's that good at lying already, high school is going to be tough around here...

Camera mistaken identity. Ha! Meri? You'll have to take some classes on body language if she's that good. ;)

I would have to track down that camera! I can't live without mine!

I can't wait to see it finished. No one here asks me to sew. I wonder why. I did buy DJ a pink sewing kit from the Dollar Tree. He snarled but I bet he will use it. No probably not but it is going to college with him.
