Saturday, Camo wedding!

 Here it is in all it's glory.  I had to remove the bottom band and cut off 4 inches and then replace it.  The flower girl dress had to be altered and the petals tailor tacked throughout the netting.

I did get everything done yesterday I said I wanted to do.  So I am happy.  I actually was able to cut out 3 of the vests and I have 5 more to cut out, but I am going to sew these first.

Today we are going up to daughters to help. I have a large meatloaf I am working on that I will take up to put in the oven later in the afternoon. also baked potatoes, salad and corn.  If there is a hot meal at the right time, everyone works better.  Also there are no restaurants or fast food places in this small town.  If you are worried about stopping to fix a meal it throws off the whole day.

 The back of this dress laces up with a long train.

I had to let out two of the bridesmaid dresses.  Remember when ordering a dress (most come from China) take your measurements and go up one size.  They will send you what they have regardless, but almost always will send up or down a size.  It is a very unfair and dishonest market.  Americans usually don't send things back.  It is better to have large than small.  These two girls did not like what their measurements said so just ordered their american size which is hugely inflated compared to the rest of the world.  Redeemer at Chico's everyone is a size 1 or 2.  A good marketing ploy. It makes us feel smaller than we are.

You can also see the veil edged with camo in this picture.  Sorry for the poor quality a photographer I am not. It took me three hours to hand stitch this bugger.

I am so happy I have this much done.  It takes about 1/2 and hour for me to assemble a vest without buttons and button holes. I will do all the buttonholes at the end.

So that was my day yesterday.  Now onto Kelsa cuddles and lots of moving and unpacking and cleaning.

Have a great and producible day staying positive while you are in the negative.
