Fabric is all cut!

Friday night, I went to my mentor's house & cut all the fabric. It was awesome. We were coming up a little short on some fabric, but we managed to fit it. We worked for a few hours, & it's just so time consuming. Pinning everything, cuttingn it perfectly. I'm basically sewing two dresses, because it has this pretty covering. Saturday morning for a couple of hours before work, I went back to finish pinning both fabric together & start sewing both fabrics together. For the bust, we have to buy lining. So I have to buy that sometime before Thursday, because Thrusday morning, we're gonna keep working on it. Then Thursday night, when Kala & I get off work, we're going to head to my mentor's house to start fitting her. & then immediately start sewing. I'm so scared that I'm going to mess up. So much. But this'll be good experience. Hopefully.

Cutting the fabric!

This morning, my mentor came over around 7. & we got the big pieces cut. I'm going to her house tomorrow night & saturday morning before work to finish cutting the fabric, & start sewing. I've been such a procrastinator about getting everything done. But I really have so much on my mind. I just hope to have this done soon. Or I'll have to explain to the judges why I'm such a failure. Awesome!

6:30 am meetings

My favorite. But not really. I had to wake up at 6:30 & get everything ready to cut the pattern. That is pretty much the only free time my mentor has. We cut out all the pieces to it. I'm gonna work on it tonight, possibly starting the fabric tonight with the help of my mom. Because I honestly think I couldn't do it right, & mess it up forever. I have to buy pins to pin the cut out pieces on the fabric. I'm excited, yet scared. I really hope I don't mess it up. the fabric was like $40! I have picturesssss, & my mom took a video today of us cutting the pattern. I might have that uploaded on here sometime soon, definitely on my website.

Fabric

I talked to my mentor this morning. We are going to shop for fabric this Friday & start cutting it!
I can't wait, finally.

Interview

Yesterday, I called my mentor, & interviewed her on the phone. We then talked about going to shop for the fabric, but something always gets in the way. We're shooting for Monday to go shop for fabric. We have Kala's measurements & everything. Soon after we buy the fabric, we can get started & cut it. Then all that's left is to sew it together, decorate it some & then we're all done! I can't wait to have some pictures up of us shopping[:

Bought the pattern!

I went to Hancock's with my mentor this weekend. and I finally bought the pattern, it's pretty and simple :)
and since her theme at the wedding will be hot pink, we're gonna throw some pink sewn into the dress, and decorate it real nice.
I can't wait! The pattern was $3.00, I bought it on sale, because it was originally $30.00.
I have to buy the cloth/decorations and I can get started!

I didn't

buy the pattern this weekend :(
My aunt is supposed to visit soon. She sewed her daughter-in-law's wedding dress not too long ago, so I guess I'm going to use that pattern. She said it was a simple, cute wedding dress, & that's exactly what I want. So three cheers for that. She's also bringing her sewing machine. Hip hip hooray.
