Taking One Off the (sewing) Table

Well, one project just got pulled off the table for now. I won't be making my Winchester Hospital Gala dress after all. My friend Danielle owns a boutique, and she and I are co-captains of a table - I just got the note from the gala chair. So Danielle asked me if I would do her a big favor and wear an Arnaldo Couture dress that she has in the store. Oh gee, let me see, do I really want to put $2000 worth of silk taffeta and embroidered lace on my back? Oh, I suppose, if you really want to twist my arm - and it fits perfectly and makes my boobs look like I never had kids? Oh alright, you don't have to twist that hard! All I have to do is have it cleaned afterward. Woo hoo! I'll definitely take it to Holly Cleaners in Newton. They are a couture cleaner, and they get all the high end stuff pristine.

So I will make the peach and floral dress, but it will be for a big recital I have coming up next spring. That will be nice actually - I'll have time to put some beading on the drape (hello, Sewing Diva Phyllis?). And the colors will be perfect for the spring.

So what to sew next? Oh yes, the kids' Halloween costumes!

Happy Sewing.
