| Callie Noelle- Callie was chosen to be in the Homecoming Court. She had to have 3 dresses.. One formal gown [that her mom bought]. Another dressy type dress for photos for the newspaper, and one for the parade ride. I made the above dress for her photo in newspaper. |
 |
| Callie chose Simplicity 8330. It is a high neck halter dress/ that is high neck halter in back also. It is lined with a soft cotton blend. The fabric is a soft poplin with stretch. |
 |
| Simplicity 8330-- I made view C The photo for the newspaper was Monday, the parade ride and the formal homecoming walk will be Friday. I will post photos later of these. I really enjoyed sewing this dress. It was an easy/enjoyable sew.. It has been awhile since I have sewed.. I have a dress for myself that I had started , when I found out Callie needed this dress. So now........ I will get back to sewing my dress. Happy sewing to all. |

ReplyDeleteThank you.. She liked it, so that was my goal.. I really liked the blue on her too..[however, they had this fabric in red, which is my favorite color..I tried to persuade her how good it would look.ha.. But, she went with the color she liked.. lol]

DeleteI know..3 dresses.. In my children's days... It was not like that.[shows I am old.ha].. She did her own hair that morning for the photo.. but some of the kids, had appointments for getting their hair done at 5 am??????? Can you believe that? And this was just for the newspaper photos.lol Can't imagine what they will do on Friday when the real thing happens..??
Oh, how pretty! Both the dress and your granddaughter! I know you must be so proud, and you certainly did an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl.. She is a really sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteLovely and that color is so popular this year. Do you want to come and work for me.
ReplyDeleteThankyou...
DeleteI think I will pass on the job. I HATE alterations, and only do them , when I have too.lol I love to sew, and have sewed for the public, but think I will bypass that too.
Have a great weekend.
I love all the dresses you sew for your grand daughters. This one is lovely. Every time I look at your blog, I want to sew, since I love sewing. But, no projects in the works right now (I know, I say that every time!)
ReplyDeleteI did get a little bit of embroidery done, though, so that made me feel good. Instead, I've been trying to get some extra cooking and cleaning done around here, so that I will be ready for Thanksgiving. The week of Thanksgiving, I will be working with the kids I help care for every day, all day, right up to the Wednesday of that week, then will have over 20 people over here for dinner. So, I'm trying several dessert recipes, and a few others, so that I can either freeze the items or at least know I have a winner when the time comes. Today, I cleaned "to the corners" in the living room. My husband replaced the seal behind the sink on the counter in the kitchen. It was done with the wrong material and was collecting mold like crazy. So, little things that will all make the day easier when it comes.
I so understand Becky.. I use to sew all the time, and it seems there is never enough time in the day?// Not sure where the time goes.
ReplyDeleteI too, am trying to get the house ready for Thanksgiving company.. It will be here before we know it. and then Christmas right around the corner.. I do love Christmas and look forward to it.
Have a great week.
A lovely young lady and a beautifully sewn dress! Thank you for sharing the photographs, Judy.
ReplyDeleteThank you BLess. She is a very sweet girl too.. SO proud of her. The dress was an easy make, and she liked it.. So that made me happy.
