Posted by: malke.y on: January 5, 2011
I’m taking off a day from work today with 2 of my daughters to go to Manhattan to find material for Blima’s wedding. She wants the color purple for all the family and I’m happy to report if you don’t already know that purple is a hot color this season. I think I’m too old [...]

Here is the picture of the quilt I created for my daughter’s Chupa. It was part of the “cieling” of the Chupa.

If given the choice between sewing [even with a deadline, my daughters dress] or quilting, there is’nt much of a toss up. But since I have to justify quilting instead of sewing, I got involved into making a chupa for her. A chupa is a covering that jewish brides and grooms have over their heads during the ceremony. I wanted to try the Ricky Tims kaleidescope. It came out beautiful! I gave it to our longarm quilter to finish and now its full-time on the bridal gown!
Daughter Wedding Dress Project Update: Attaching the Train.
Posted by: malke.y on: May 1, 2009
I’ve been working on my daughters dress. The train, which is the focal point of the gown, is finished but now I have to figure out how to attach it to the skirt. I have some organza flowers from the train that I think I will use; pictures to come. I used one pattern for the bodice and another for the sleeves and they are not going together that great, so that’s the project for tonight.
Update on Making My Daughter’s Wedding Dress (New One)

Update on the wedding dress: The hardest part for me is making the first muslin fit. Thank G-d that’s finished and I’ve made the lining ready for Yehudis’s wedding dress. Today I cut into the fabric!
Update on Making My Daughter’s Wedding Dress

Yehudis (my daughter) has decided on the style and then presented me with the sketch assuming I would firgure it out. She wants a “corset look” from under her bust to below the waist with princess line for the skirt. We are now up to the point of deciding if we should either put in a bust dart or gather. I made the muslin and put in the boning so that she could see what it will look like. I’m not concerned about the skirt because she just wants it very full and simple. We bought a Vera Wang embroidered winter white silk. The train is what will make the dress because it is the most interesting part, but I’m very far from that point.
