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.

Friday

Friday, I was supposed to meet my mentor at Hancock's, a fabric store in Hickory. Turns out she had to be at an important meeting and she couldn't make it. I had my parents and Andrea accompany me. I saw some really cute patterns. A single pattern is about $30! But this weekend is labor day weekend, and some lady behind the desk said the patterns would be about $7. So I'm waiting till then to go and buy the pattern, possibly the fabric as well. Hopefully it won't be too expensive[:
Oh, and as for the sewing machine, I'm either using my aunt's, my mentor's, or another family friend. I really don't see the point in BUYING a sewing machine. They're very expensive. And I doubt I'll have any more patience left in me to sew anything else. Therefore, I'm just going to borrow one[:

Thesis statement

The thesis statemenet we have to write in the introduction is much harder to write than I thought. It's one sentence; ONE sentence. It's honestly killing me.

Mentor interview

Today, in class, we started to type out the questions we will be asking our mentor.
Surely by the end of the interview, we'll become good friends [:

New model

Kala is going to be my new model. Simply because she's ACTUALLY going to get married in the summer.
Yesterday we were sketching how she wanted her dress. It's really pretty, but I'm not sure it'll be EXACTLY like that. But I'll try my best!
