Some Wedding Sewing



Erin's wedding is in 44 days, according to the Macy's registry.  Okay, wow, that is closer than I thought, happy I went ahead and did most of the sewing last week.  Two flower girls for the wedding and last week was a fitting with the muslins I made of the pattern.  Now more confident in their sizes, I made the dresses the last 2 days.  I am planning on lining them but will wait until another fitting on April 20th.   My plan is to line them, add an orange sash, then probably some eyelet ruffle to the lining and let it peak out from the dress. 

The pattern is princess seams, with center front and back seams, lots of seams to break up the polka dots but great for fitting.  Fitted bodice with a nice flare to dress, great for twirling, as the girls demonstrated in the muslins. 
In the background of the picture is the ring bearer pillow and in the pitcher, 2 headbands for the flower girls.  Meredith made those this weekend and they are darling.
