Dress and Blouse




This is how it all started. My husband and I were invited to a fundraiser for Haiti. It is a formal affair so guess what I get to dress up. LOL I had the velvet dress that was too big for me but since I sew that really isn't a problem but I need a reason to put the time into making it fit. Well with the weather getting cooler I would need a small jacket since the dress has spaghetti straps. I have silver blouse that would work as a small jacket. Pictured here are the before pictures.

Christmas Eve 2016

It's hard to believe that 2016 is coming to an end.  So much has happened this past year. It was such a busy year of brides, wedding and alterations!  I got the opportunity to go to Quilt Market Salt Lake City, it was such an amazing experience.  I met SEW many amazing people. Luke left for a 2 year mission trip to Chile.  Josh graduated high school and left for college in August. Mari and I started "The Sewing Studio" - teaching and inspiring SEW many in the Art of Sewing and Quilting!! Spending the end of 2016 in St. Louis Missouri what a rich history this area has!  Enjoying the time off and the site seeing and the many quilt shops.   The Quilted Fox  was a wonderful shop that had over 6,000 bolts of fabrics - it was a quilters heaven!   The Quilted Cottage  was in St. Charles but they were closed today but will be open on Monday.  I can't wait to make it back there Monday. What a GREAT way to spend the end of 2016!
