Last Sunday our church celebrated reformation day. We have a party each year in honor of a reformer.We have studied Martin Luther, John Calvin and Martin Bucer. We have food, games, fellowship, and "some" candy. :-) We always have a fun time dressing up for the occasion. My sister's and I usually go to a thrift shop and find a cheap dress to decorate. I found this one at the thrift store and thought I'd buy some lace to decorate with. I ended up using exactly 12 yards of red lace that I bought from the craft store. I thought would have some left over, but I had just enough for the bodice front. I was relieved when I pinned the lace on the front, because I beginning to get skeptical as to if I'd have enough. I bought some ribbon for the waist and it was finished. Cheap, elegant and fun to design.
You can visit my family's blog here for a slide show of the event, if your interested.

How neat, Leah! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely! Beautiful job, Leah! =) It turned out so well. I love how the red contrasts against the white. (We just got a new sewing machine, so I'm excited to start a few projects!)
