Show Me Some Style!

I'm headed to the annual ISU Style Show this weekend!!!  WOohoo!  Meri and a friend are going to come along with me and I've had the tickets for a month.  They're looking forward to it too!

So I went back through every April picture folder that I have and a flood of memories came back.
This was two years ago because I either forgot to download them from last year or they were misfiled...  I'll have to look again.

So...  2014.


Meri went with me.


and a model/designer got a proposal on stage.


2013.  A LOT of my friends from my ASG sewing guild.



 and each year of course brought other events that played heavily in my life across those Aprils...

Prom photos and the prom dresses!  This was the last prom dress I made for Maddy...  Well, so far. 
 2013, Senior year

She'll be a teacher...  but of elementary school ages. I guess they don't have proms...  


The 2012 prom dress that was inspired by the movie Tangled.  She took a sophomore.


I'll still be sewing things for her.  Still do!  Just not prom dresses.  She came to a few of the style shows with me too.  I just don't have the photos to prove it.

2011 prom.  When she was asked by an upper classman.


And you can't have an April in my house without PUPPIES!!!!


Well, NOW you can because that just ain't happening here anymore!



Then that one year that Meri brought a friend 



and even Ryan wanted to come along!

 

Those were the days!  I love getting inspired by these shows!  Someday I'll get all the hundreds of photos I've taken of the styles and put them into an inspirational sewing book, so I can just browse without wifi.


The first year I ever went was in 2009.  I took more video than photos that year.



It's going to be fun!!

Have a great weekend!

  2. It is Minneapolis Fashion week I guess. I was looking for stuff to do the rest of the month and that popped up. I know nothing about fashion, sewing, and would not look the part, but I appreciate the efforts designers make -anything skilled and creative I enjoy seeing.

  4. You have made so many wonderful dresses!!! And Leon is so big now, he's adorable then and now. Sad about the puppies though, they were so cute.
