Sew Busy Stepping on Pearls

 I've been busy.  Trying to get enough sleep.  Dealing with what life throws at me.

and the wedding dress project.  The lining is still enroute for all the dresses but it'll be here soon.  I'm not ready for it yet anyways, so no big.

Below is the glitter/pearled overlay fabric.  I woke up in the middle of the night and wondered if it was too heavy to be poofy enough for the bride.  I still don't know and won't until we get to that step.  sigh.  a few more sleepless nights in the works for me I imagine...

It sure is pretty though!  I've plucked the pearls off that are too close to where a seam will be and now my sewing room is littered with pearls and cast off glitter.  LOTS and LOTS of glitter.

Not to worry though.  It's not like we'll run out of the stuff.  There is still TONS on the fabric...  I'm sure JoAnns reseeds this fabric with more glitter every night...

Here is the organza that will be 4 layers of fru-fru gorgeousness between the overlay piece and the dress lining.

It's cut in huge ovals with a waist in the middle.  They're all sewn together into one huge piece with varied lengths and french seams.

The glitter fabric just has a couple more french seams to go before it will be too.

I have my sewing room closed all the time to keep the cats out so it's a bit chilly in here.  I can just imagine the mischief the cat's would be up to if they got in here.

The fabric for the bridesmaid dresses came and Meri shot off a photo of it to the bride.  It's a go!  So I plan to work on the dresses all day tomorrow.  Well, until I get sick of my sewing room and need a break.

So anyway, that is my life so far.

Have a grand weekend!
