It was no easy feat, creating that dress in just 2 weeks. And just as I predicted, I was sewing up until the last minutes. There were a few set-backs, and I was rescued more than once by Tami Atkinson and her masterful tailoring skills. It was she who came back at 6:30 as I was sewing on the last hook and shooed me off to shower, while bride, sisters, grandchildren et all were running around curling hair and getting ready - it seriously reminded me of Kevin and his family scurrying around the house dressing and finding bags because they were about to miss their flight to France, leaving him Home Alone.
Tami sewed the hook and ironed the dress, and Dani made it on time to her Open House. Whew!!
Next time I will insist the bride has to be in the same place as I when I am sewing her dress... squeezing fittings into 2 days makes it a real nail-biter.
Now, don't they just look so happy!!
