Sewing project...

By

One of my friends, Mellisa, had a surprise prom for her 30th birthday. She wasn't able to go to prom and so her husband arranged one for a surprise. Very sweet!

They wanted us to wear prom attire, but I didn't have anything like that so I decided to make a dress. I couldn't find what I wanted at the store and didn't have a lot of money to spend. I bought this pattern for 10 cents and decided to make a prom dress out of it.



I use soap to mark my patterns. Here I used it on the tulle for the outside of the dress.



This is the front part of the dress and one side of the bodice. I'm not very good at taking pics when sewing. :)

This is the bodice with both sides on.
Here it is turned around with the straps being put in and also the facing.
Putting the two sides of the skirt together.
Putting the tulle on the dress.
Edging it out.


The finished product. :)


The back of the dress. I probably won't ever wear this again, but it was fun to make it for my friend's party. I thought it was pretty modest and cute. :)
And here's hubby dressed up! This roofer cleans up pretty good! :)

    I didn't have a prom either. What a great party idea her husband came up with.

    What a beautiful dress. You did a great job. You are so very pretty. Your hubby looks like a real nice guy.

Do you make agreements with satan?

Many of us make agreements with satan and we don't even realize it. It may start out small like a small thought popping in your head. Satan fuels that thought with mores lies until you have made up your mind that you agree with satan. For example...I can't watch Dancing With the Stars...it is too much of a stumbling block for me. Why? Well, just look at them. They have beautiful bodies that seem to move effortlessly. I made an agreement with satan that my body is just not up to par. It's just not good enough. I went from a small thought of "wow, they are beautiful" to "I'm not that beautiful...I don't have those nice curves... I could never be graceful like that" Those are all satan's lies and I AGREED with them. Sure, I don't look like that, but I don't have to fall for the lie that my body and grace are any less good. But, to keep those thoughts at bay...I just don't watch it. Another example would be realizing your
