Summer project is done

Crocheted summer treat.

Pattern Is Classic Elite . SURF'S UP. Pattern calls for CEY Firefly but I used Vail 6416 Parchment. Worked great. Sweater is very light.

This pattern was a lot of fun...well...the mesh part was not THAT fun, but it was quick. Finishing was easier than I first thought.

From I DO to I NAME YOU...........I made a christening dress for a baby out of a wedding dress

This project turned out a little "trickier" than I anticipated. The bride had a great time at her wedding........it was a challenge to find a whole piece of fabric larger than a yard that did not have a seem or a stain.

CUT...there is no going back.......

a lot of sheer material...but again....There is a lot of evidence It was a fun wedding.

Finally, I am getting somewhere. This is the fun part. Little challenging to cut, the fabric was layered with a satin on bottom and a sheer on top I could not separate it due to seems holding the panels the skirt was divided into.

Bodice..........I decide to layer the satin to get some body :)

...saving the lace to add details....

The whole time I am working on the little dress I am thinking....I cannot poke myself with the needles , that would be a disaster to stain it. The last morning I am working on it I am sewing little buttons on in the back and I do not pay attention that I had poked myself and..wham....a blood stain. Gaaahhhhhh.....But I pull out my best friend and savior. ..Tide stain removal pen and voila.....stain takes a hike.
