In the Know

I am so glad I worked in the fashion industry for a while. I learned where all these great production facilities are located, and I am not afraid to just show up at them and start talking to people. Today I went down to South Central Los Angeles in the rain to see if I could get some covered buttons made.

I had considered sending them to some place on the internet so I wouldn't have to trek downtown, but at $0.75 a button I thought it was too expensive. Today I dropped of my fabric and I am having covered buttons made for $0.85 a dozen. Yes, $0.85. Can you believe it? Anyway, they will be ready for pick up tomorrow and I should have my dress completed by the end of the week easily.

I will keep you posted.

Almost There

Sorry, I haven't been blogging. I have been very busy sewing. We have less than two weeks until the wedding now and I only have a little left to do on my dress.

Last week I made major progress. I cut everything out and then sewed the top and the bottom. I sewed in my pockets. They are the best ever. I love them. I don't know anyone else who had pockets in their wedding dress, but a pocket was one of my goals.

I love my dress. Love, love, love.

I still have to hem it, sew on the buttons and the loops and then I am done. That should only take a couple of hours. If I pull it off before next weekend, it will be the earliest I have completed a dress project ever. I am such a procrastinator. Although I guess there are a few other things to be doing the week of the wedding.

I hope you all like my dress as much as I do.
