Remember the wedding we were preparing for (you know, all that tafetta cursing I did)? Well, the sewing came together just fine and just in time (I'll admit to a wee bit of handsewing as late as the rehearsal dinner. And I can assure you there will be no more vests and bowties in my crafting future). My sweet little ring bearer got a bit of stage fright and wasn't quite able to actually make it down the aisle. But with lots of hugs all the way around, he moved on rather quickly (and I've since pondered exactly how much pressure that job is for a little one!). He was pleased, however, with his vest and bowtie, and so it went straight to the dress up rack after the wedding where I'm sure it will have a much more exciting life. Ezra loved his little fish necktie in an adorable way--constantly adjusting it and touching it. And the dress I made for Adelaide made me want to squeeze her even tighter than I usually do (which is a lot). You can see the dress better here, it's with a vintage floral fabric that's crispy and soft at the same time. Yum. Happy wedding sewing for everyone.
